Comprehensive Defense Against Serious Felonies and Misdemeanors

A criminal conviction can carry devastating consequences, including lengthy prison sentences, exorbitant fines, and a permanent criminal record that can destroy your career prospects. ⚖ When you need to find an attorney to defend against serious charges, the Law Offices of David Chesley offers unparalleled expertise. We aggressively defend clients against all types of felony and misdemeanor allegations. Whether you are facing charges for violent crimes such as assault, battery, or homicide, or complex white-collar crimes like fraud and embezzlement, our legal team possesses the resources and litigation skills necessary to fight for your exoneration. We also handle a high volume of cases involving drug possession, drug trafficking, and domestic violence. Our approach is unrelenting: we meticulously analyze police reports, scrutinize forensic evidence, and aggressively challenge any violations of your constitutional rights, such as illegal searches and seizures. Our primary goal is always to have the charges against you completely dropped or significantly reduced before your case ever reaches a jury.

Aggressive DUI and Traffic Offense Defense

California has some of the strictest Driving Under the Influence (DUI) laws in the nation, and the local courts in Tulare County prosecute these offenses aggressively. 🚗 If you have been arrested for a DUI, you must book a legal consultation immediately to protect both your freedom and your driving privileges. A DUI conviction can lead to mandatory jail time, license suspension, mandatory alcohol education classes, and skyrocketing insurance premiums. The Law Offices of David Chesley has a highly specialized DUI defense division. We know that field sobriety tests are often flawed and breathalyzer machines are frequently uncalibrated. We aggressively challenge the legality of the initial traffic stop, the administration of chemical tests, and the arresting officer's conduct. We represent you both in criminal court and at your DMV administrative per se hearing, fighting on all fronts to keep your record clean and your license intact.

Protecting Your Rights in Theft and Property Crimes

Allegations of theft or property crimes can tarnish your reputation as a trustworthy individual, making it incredibly difficult to secure employment or housing in the future. 💰 Whether you are accused of petty theft, grand theft auto, burglary, or robbery, you need an attorney near me who will mount a vigorous defense. Our firm understands that misunderstandings, false accusations, and mistaken identity are common in property crime cases. We work tirelessly to uncover exculpatory evidence, interview key witnesses, and build a compelling narrative that proves your innocence or mitigates your involvement. We explore all available diversion programs and alternative sentencing options, striving to keep you out of jail and focused on your rehabilitation and future success.
