Criminal Defense in San Luis Obispo
I am David L. Fisher, Attorney at Law, a criminal defense lawyer with more than 30 years of California legal experience. If you have been charged with a crime, don’t hesitate to contact me to schedule a free initial consultation at my offices in San Luis Obispo. I handle a wide range of criminal matters, including the following:
- DUI/DWI: A drunk driving accusation generally involves both criminal charges and a driver’s license suspension hearing. I will pursue options to help you avoid or reduce the consequences in both cases.
- Alcohol offenses: If you’ve been charged with being drunk in public, underage drinking or use of a fake ID to buy alcohol, I will assess the facts of your case and take appropriate steps in your defense.
- Drug charges: Whether your drug charges involve illegal drugs like marijuana and meth or prescription drugs like OxyContin® and methadone, I will explore all of your options, including diversion programs.
- Medical marijuana: Under California law, medical marijuana is legal, but under federal law, it is not. Conflicting law enforcement policies can lead to confusing situations. I will stand up for your rights as a patient or caregiver.
- Assault and battery: If you have been charged with assault and/or battery in the context of a bar fight, a domestic dispute or other situation, you need a seasoned attorney who will take a holistic and knowledgeable approach to your criminal defense.
- Sex crimes: From sexual assault to child molestation to indecent exposure, sex charges are a serious situation that can have long-term consequences. I will fully investigate your case in order to understand your options.
- Juvenile offenses: When someone under 18 is charged with a crime, he or she needs an attorney who is familiar with the unique aspects of the juvenile justice system. I can guide you or your child through the process.
In addition to defending local residents, college students and other clients facing criminal and juvenile charges, I help parents whose children have been taken away by child protective services, and I help clients with criminal records pursue expungement so that their records do not continue to haunt them years later.
If you are dealing with any of these circumstances, you need a lawyer who will be your advocate in the courtroom and stand by you as you deal with the broader issues involved in your legal situation. Contact me today.
