Placerville, California, DUI Lawyers, Medical Marijuana Criminal Defense

In more than 25 years of practicing law, criminal defense attorney Erik Schlueter has established himself as an aggressive and effective defender of his clients rights. Some recent cases include:

• A client was one of four people in a car stopped after a shooting. He had a pistol at his feet, and there was a sawed off shot gun in the front seat. The client was accused of participation in a street gang, attempted murder, and possession of an illegal firearm. Result: acquittal.
   
• A client was measured at .12 blood alcohol level and accused of reckless driving. Because of effective questioning of the reasons for the stop, the case was thrown out.
   
• A client was accused of killing and torturing animals. Through effective and thorough discovery, Erik Schlueter was able to prove to the District Attorney that the client was a witness, not the perpetrator, and the case was dismissed.
