Who We Are
Our core legal team consists of attorneys Charles Stoddard, Pante-a Nilchian, and Randall C. Bertz – all three of whom are seasoned criminal law lawyers with more than six decades of combined experience. Having some of the most astute and brightest legal minds on our team has allowed our firm to grow into one of California’s most trusted criminal defense practices.
We are passionate about defending the rights of those who cannot defend themselves against the might of the state. We believe that the state should be held to the highest possible prosecutorial standards and that the police and the prosecution should not be able to get away with mistakes, errors, or misconduct that could put innocent people behind bars or cause people to be disproportionately punished for any crimes.
Why Choose Us?
A Reputation for Excellence
Our criminal law lawyers are among the best minds in the industry and excel at what they do. Attorney Charles Stoddard, who founded our firm, has been selected as a member of the National Association of Distinguished Counsel (NADC) – an honor which is reserved only for the top 1% of the attorneys in the country. Our attorneys have the highest Avvo and Yelp ratings and are highly respected by their peers as well.
First-Hand Knowledge of Criminal Justice System
Our criminal law lawyers have first-hand knowledge of California’s criminal justice system and know how it works. Attorney Charles Stoddard is a former Deputy District Attorney and attorney Randall C. Bertz is a former police officer. Together, they know how police officers and prosecutors work, how they build cases, and what kind of strategies they use to obtain a conviction. Having this insider knowledge allows our legal team to mount strong defenses for our clients and stay a step ahead of the prosecution.
Experience in Handling a Wide Range of Cases
Our criminal law lawyers have handled a wide range of cases – from DUI to homicide. Also, our clients come from a wide range of locations and backgrounds. From blue-collar workers to high-net-worth individuals, we have represented them all. With that said, no matter who you are, what you do, or what kind of charges you are facing, chances are we have already handled a case similar to yours.
