Hall-Martinez within 50 miles of Merced California

Local attorney with 15 years of legal experience. Educated at Harvard College and Berkeley Law School. Most importantly, I spend nearly every day in the courtroom, learning how local courts operate. It is not enough for a lawyer to know the letter of the law. Cases resolve by working with people--judges and prosecutors--who have incredible discretion in how much, if any, punishment is given to a defendant. My clients learn that I can often negotiate much better resolutions than the the "worst case" scenarios they see online. Many charges can be reduced or even dismissed.
