We also have assisted many clients in Marin County at the pre-filing stage. What this means is the client has been contacted by law enforcement but has yet to be formally charged by the District Attorney. In some cases, it is a wise decision to be proactive at the pre-filing stage and to hire an attorney to speak on your behalf to the District Attorney and potentially to engage a licensed private investigator to start investigating your case before charges are filed.
In any criminal case, you need an experienced attorney who understands the local court system and the local community. For example, if you elect to go to trial, it is important to have an attorney defending you who understands the local jury pool and the different towns or neighborhoods. Marin County is not densely populated, but it spans a relatively large geographic area, and potential jurors may hold different views in different parts of the same county.
Marin County has historically been very aggressive in the prosecution of DUI cases. The California Highway Patrol frequently makes DUI arrests during the evening hours on local highways and local police are quick to pull over any suspected DUI driver.

This type of offense can occur in any part of the county and both the police and the District Attorney are proactive in this type of offense. If you have been arrested and charged with a DUI or domestic violence offense in Marin County Superior Court, we can help.
