Comprehensive Criminal Defense Practice Areas
The Anaheim Attorneys represents defendants across a broad spectrum of state criminal violations and administrative proceedings in Southern California.
Driving Under the Influence Defense and DMV Hearings
An arrest for driving under the influence triggers two separate proceedings: a criminal court prosecution and an administrative per se suspension by the California Department of Motor Vehicles. Acting as committed dui defense lawyers, the firm takes immediate action within the mandatory ten-day window to request a formal DMV administrative hearing. Attorney Godwin rigorously scrutinizes breathalyzer maintenance logs, blood testing chain of custody, and field sobriety test protocols, aggressively pursuing DMV set asides and court dismissals for misdemeanor and felony offenses.
Writs of Mandate and Administrative Law Appeals
When the Department of Motor Vehicles unlawfully suspends a driver license despite lack of evidence, traditional administrative avenues may fall short. Attorney Gene Godwin frequently files petitions for writ of mandate in the California Superior Court, forcing the agency to comply with constitutional due process and reinstate driver licenses when hearing officers rule erroneously.
Felony and Misdemeanor Criminal Defense
The firm acts as staunch criminal defense lawyers, defending clients facing serious misdemeanor and felony charges. Whether addressing allegations evaluated by violent crime defense lawyers, drug crime defense lawyers, or theft and burglary defense lawyers, counsel investigates police conduct, files motions to suppress evidence, and challenges unlawful searches and seizures.
Post-Conviction Relief and Expungements
A criminal record creates enduring obstacles when seeking employment, professional licensing, or housing. Serving clients looking for fresh starts, the firm files post-judgment motions for dismissal under California Penal Code Section 1203.4 and petitions for early termination of probation, restoring vital civil rights.
