As a California Highway Patrolman for ten years, James Wasson understands police procedure. We use that unique insight to carefully analyze the case against you. When errors have occurred, either in the handling of evidence, or in the conduct of the police, we can quickly find these mistakes and use them to defend you. Cases must be methodically defended at every stage of the proceedings, beginning with police interrogations, discovery, and preliminary hearings, and culminating in motions and possibly trial. In the case of drunk driving, you need an experienced criminal defense lawyer in DMV hearings as well as criminal proceedings.
