Legal Experience and Versatility
The State Bar of California allows criminal lawyers who believe themselves to be extraordinary lawyers, apply to be Criminal Law Specialists. The process is rigorous and daunting and only a very small percentage of applicants succeed. Those who do are authorized to become Certified Specialist in Criminal Law. Here at San Jose, we have a California State Bar Criminal Law Specialist who has proven his qualifications to the State Bar. We are skilled with experience and knowledge in handling misdemeanor and felony cases in both State and Federal court.
