Committed to Aggressive and Skilled Legal Representation
When you are facing criminal charges, there is always anxiety and worry about the impact this will have on your future. There is often a fear that if your attorney knows you did something wrong, he or she will assume you are guilty and not put full effort into your defense.
At The Law Office of Charles B. Smith, we purposely keep our caseload small so that we can give all of our clients the attention they deserve and the assistance they need. We will not take your case if we do not think we would be able to provide you with the best defense.
Even if the prosecution can prove its case against you, we may be able to reduce the charges against you, mitigate any potential sentence, and pursue sentencing alternatives that could keep you out of jail. We will do whatever we can to protect your rights and interests.
Offering Personalized Service in a Range of Practice Areas
San Mateo criminal defense attorney Charles B. Smith — a former prosecutor and former police officer now exclusively practicing criminal defense law — offers personalized service backed by a strong record of success. Our firm handles cases in areas such as the following:
- Drunk driving
- Sex offenses
- Violent crimes
- Drug crimes
- White collar crimes
- Robbery and theft
- Juvenile offenses
- Domestic violence
- Weapons charges
- Resisting arrest
We are knowledgeable about all aspects of the criminal justice system, including California's three-strikes law, the process for establishing and obtaining bail, and the process for expunging and sealing the criminal records of clients who have completed their sentences.
Making Sure the Court and Prosecutor Hear Your Side of the Story
Mr. Smith will take the time to understand the details of your case and learn about you. We have found that if we have an idea of who you are, outside of the accusations against you, we can often communicate that to the court in order to explain and mitigate your case.
This approach has served us well over the years and gained us a positive reputation within the local criminal justice system, and while we cannot guarantee specific results in your particular case, we will work as hard as possible to defend you regardless of your charges.
