Aggressive California Criminal Defense Attorney
If you have been accused of a crime, you need to contact an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately. A conviction for any type of criminal charge can cause serious consequences that will follow you for years. Be sure that you have strong representation from a lawyer who has what it takes to protect your rights and your freedom.
At the Placerville, California law office of Erik Schlueter, A Professional Law Corporation, I dedicate my entire practice to criminal law. I offer my clients over 28 years of experience in criminal law practice including 19 years as a Deputy District Attorney. I know how prosecutors and law enforcement operate and I know the best approach to creating a strong defense against them. I do not dabble in civil law practice as other attorneys do to "pay the bills." Criminal and Civil law have different rules and procedures. I do not try to get by with the minimum amount of work to handle your case. The District Attorney has the burden of proving you "Guilty Beyond A Reasonable Doubt." I believe in making them work to meet their burden.
The Police have an attorney - the District Attorney. Shouldn't you have an Attorney fighting for you too?
Fighting to Protect Your Rights
I represent clients against a variety of different crimes, including DUI, drug charges, domestic violence, theft and many others. I do not believe that your case stops just because you were arrested. Too many mistakes are made by officers and witnesses. I will not stop fighting for you. I prepare every case as if it is going to trial. I work diligently to obtain all the information in the prosecution's case in order to gain a complete understanding of their trial strategy. If your rights have been violated, you have the right to have evidence obtained through that violation thrown out of court. The government has to obey the law too. I have a strong track record of getting cases dismissed due, in large part, to my thorough preparation.
When you hire my firm, you hire me. You will work directly with me at all times and I will handle every aspect of your case personally. I dig deeper into every case to ensure that every defense strategy is covered. I pursue every legal option available in search of the most favorable outcome possible in your case.
