Ceres Criminal Defense Attorney
Modesto-adjacent, courthouse-close.
Ceres sits just south of Modesto along the Highway 99 corridor, close enough that the line between the two cities can feel invisible until you are the one under arrest. Because your case is handled at the courthouse in neighboring Modesto, we are effectively your local firm. Our downtown office is minutes up the highway from Ceres.
Three pillars of every Ceres engagement.
Highway 99 DUI Defense
The CHP works this stretch aggressively. Field sobriety, breath, and blood evidence get scrutinized from stop to lab.
Fast-Moving Docket, Local Counsel
Ceres cases move through the same busy Modesto system. Focused criminal defense keeps your case from becoming a number on the calendar.
Diversion and Dismissal Strategy
Weaknesses in the investigation translate directly into reduced charges or a dismissal. We pursue them aggressively.
Small Enough to See You, Local Enough to Move Fast.
Being charged in Ceres can feel like the system already has its mind made up. It does not. With an aggressive defense started early, you change the equation before charges harden.
Where your case lives, and who built it.
The Courthouse
Felonies and most misdemeanors from Ceres are filed at the Stanislaus County Superior Court, Main Courthouse at 801 10th Street in Modesto. Certain south-county misdemeanor and traffic matters can be calendared at the Turlock Branch at 300 Starr Avenue instead. We handle both.
Local Law Enforcement
Arrests in Ceres typically begin with the Ceres Police Department, while the California Highway Patrol covers Highway 99, a common origin point for DUI and traffic stops. Was the traffic stop justified, was a search lawful, were your rights honored, is the evidence reliable? Those are the first questions we ask.

- DUI offenses
- Drug crimes
