CRIMINAL DEFENSE, DUI LAW

We believe that a personalized and strategic defense rooted in experience can assist you to achieve the best possible outcome in your case. Ms. Melik-Bakhshyan will explore all possible weaknesses in the government’s case against you and, if appropriate, file any appropriate motions to challenge the legality of police action and case merits. After a thorough interview with you, Ms. Melik-Bakhshyan will formulate a defense strategy that is unique to your case, focusing on your constitutional right of being presumed innocent. If you have already been convicted of a crime, you may be eligible for post-conviction relief, such as early termination of probation, “expungement” of the conviction, withdrawal of your plea, Penal Code §17(b) reduction of felony to misdemeanor, and other. Upon careful review of your case file, your attorney will inform you if you are eligible for any post-conviction relief.
