Our Core Values 

03

Dedication
  • We see people—not paperwork. We are committed to getting you the best result, no matter what it takes. Every person we represent deserves thoughtful analysis and a personalized defense strategy. We go above and beyond—not just because we care, but because it’s the right thing to do.

  • ​We value your time. You don’t need more delays—you need progress. We work efficiently and with urgency, constantly moving your case forward while identifying and addressing potential roadblocks. Our goal is to resolve your case swiftly, so you can move on with your life.

04

Innovation
  • We do things differently. We embrace change. We believe in using cutting-edge tools and technology to improve our service and support.

​​

  • We are trailblazers. We don’t believe in sticking to outdated norms. We’re redefining what a modern criminal defense firm can be, always looking for creative solutions that better serve our clients and our team.

01

Compassionate Customer Service
  • We communicate. We know that compassion is critical during what may be the most stressful moment in your life. We truly listen to our clients, empower them with the knowledge they need, and guide them every step of the way.

​​

  • We are here to serve. We focus on the client experience above all else. When you work with us, you’ll feel heard, respected, and supported—not pushed through a process. We create space for you to be seen, understood, and helped.

02

Integrity
  • We are professional. We speak with honesty, act with respect, and hold ourselves to high standards. Our reputation matters—not just in court, but in our community. That means treating everyone with dignity, from law enforcement to opposing counsel.

​​

  • We do things the right way. We don’t make unrealistic promises. We set clear expectations from day one and offer you an honest assessment of your case: the best-case scenario, the worst-case outcome, and the most likely path forward. With us, you’ll always know where you stand.

We understand where you’re coming from.

First time getting arrested? We’ve got your back.

Worried about how your arrest may affect your job? We can help minimize the impact.

Is your family member or loved one in jail? We can help you help them.

Want to clean up your criminal record? We can give you a fresh start.

FIRST TIME ARREST

First time getting arrested?

We’ve Got Your Back. Never thought you’d be in this situation? You're not alone. Many of our clients have never had any issues with the law—some haven’t even received a traffic ticket.

 

Getting arrested doesn’t make you a bad person. We represent professionals, students, parents, grandparents—people from every walk of life who simply need legal support. We’re here to help you through this tough time and fight for your future.

WORRIED ABOUT YOUR JOB

Worried about how your arrest may affect your job?

If you have a job where a criminal charge or record could put your career at risk—or even lead to termination—we understand what’s at stake. Maybe an arrest could impact your ability to drive or maintain a professional license.

 

We help hardworking people protect their future and regain control.

LOVED ONE ARRESTED

Has your family member or loved one been arrested?

We take calls from spouses, parents, friends, and advocates who want to help a loved one in custody. Maybe your loved one is overwhelmed, scared, or unsure what to do next.

 

We’re here to offer reassurance, clear next steps, and committed legal representation.

OUT OF TOWN

Arrested while on vacation in Napa?

It happens more than you’d think. Tourists come to Napa to enjoy great food and world-class wine, and sometimes that leads to unexpected legal trouble. An out-of-state arrest raises unique concerns—will you have to return to appear in court? Can you handle things from home?

 

We’ll walk you through the process and handle as much as possible on your behalf, so you can put this experience behind you.

We Really Care and It Shows

We get the job done, we get it done right, and we treat our clients right.

We get the job done, we get it done right, and we treat our clients right. We understand that court is intimidating. That’s why we do everything we can to spare you the anxiety of being seen as a criminal in a courtroom. Often, we can appear on your behalf without you ever stepping foot in court.

​

We’ve seen the fear on people’s faces when they show up to court alone—sweaty palms, confusion, and no guidance. With us, you’re never alone. Nina and the team will walk you through every step, making sure you know what to expect so you can feel confident and prepared.

Why Us?

Reasons to Choose Our Firm

We value honesty

Some attorneys will try to scare you into signing a contract or make grand promises they can’t deliver. That’s not us. We don’t rely on scare tactics or sugar-coating.

 

We’ll give you a realistic, honest evaluation of your case from day one and keep you informed throughout.

Experience – In the Courtroom and in Life

Sure, we have courtroom wins and legal credentials. But what sets us apart is our lived experience.

 

We know what it’s like to face setbacks and come back stronger. That gives us unique insight into what you're going through—and a deeper drive to fight for you.

We Are Dedicated To Self-Improvement

Our clients come to us during hard times. We’re here to support you legally—and as a human. Whether you need referrals, straight talk, or someone to listen, we’ve got you.

 

Just like we encourage our clients to keep growing, our team is always learning and improving too.

The No B.S. Approach

We mean "big suits," obviously… and yes, the other kind too. You won’t find us hiding behind fancy offices or thousand-dollar suits. That’s not what gets the best possible outcome—strategy, honesty, and hustle do.

 

We’re real with you from day one, and we’re not afraid to get our hands dirty.

We Believe in the Right Fit

You’re not just a case file—you’re a whole person. We take the time to get to know you and your goals. And if we’re not the right firm for you, we’ll help you find someone who is. No hard feelings—just the right fit.
