Reducing the Embarrassment of a Criminal Charge
At the law office of James S. Sweeney in Mission Viejo, California, we focus our criminal defense practice on the following areas:
DUI defense - A drunk driving arrest does not mean a conviction is imminent. However, the consequences of a conviction can be very serious, mandating that we mount an aggressive defense. We represent first-time offenders, as well as those charged with multiple DUI offenses.
Administrative license suspension - We skillfully represent you in administrative hearings where you could lose your driver's license.
Breath and blood testing - At the law office of James S. Sweeney, we challenge the administration and overall accuracy of Breathalyzer and blood tests, including the critical timing element of when the tests were taken.
Suspended license/DMV proceedings - Traffic violations are not a minor problem when your tickets start to add up, causing you to lose your license. The DMV can suspend your license for medical reasons as well. We represent clients at these all-important DMV hearings.
Drug offenses - Whether you are charged with possession of an illegal narcotic or prescription drugs, attorney James S. Sweeney provides seasoned and aggressive representation.
If you are arrested for a crime, do not plead guilty or speak with police without consulting an attorney first. Contact us online today or call us at 949-582-0022 for diligent representation of your rights.
Domestic violence - We represent clients in domestic violence court who were wrongly charged with spousal abuse and barred from their homes and seeing their children due to a restraining order.
Petty theft/grand theft - If you are charged with felony grand theft or misdemeanor petty theft, contact us for immediate and confidential representation.
Identity theft/fraud - We represent clients facing charges of credit card theft, identity theft, mail fraud, internet fraud and all other related charges.
Dismissal/expungement - A one-time mistake should not haunt you for the rest of your life. For clients who are able to turn their lives around, we advocate for them in expungement and dismissal hearings.
Jail release/bail - Your first goal after an arrest is getting out of jail. We advise our clients on the best, cost-saving strategies and represent them at bail hearings. You may be released on your own recognizance (O Bail) or may be required to post a bond. We may be able to reduce your bail and save you money.
