Your San Diego criminal defense lawyer; I’m here for you, and I’ll be there with you.
As an experienced San Diego criminal defense attorney, I make sure every client leaves my office knowing I’m here for them, and there to defend them. My clients often come to me at their lowest, and then trust me to advise them on decisions concerning their future and freedom. For this reason it is important for my clients to know that when they hire me, they get me. Day or night, weekends and holidays, I make myself available – not just to answer questions, but to alleviate the stress and anxiety that come with facing criminal charges. The practice of law is not about cases – it’s about people.
Defense Attorney, Michael A. Hernandez

[accordion collapsible=”false” closed_bg=”transparent” title_color=”accent6″]
[pane title=”Drug Smuggling” background_image=””]
Client was stopped by police on the highway after an anonymous informant told the officers that he saw strange activity involving a cargo truck. The officer saw two identical cargo trucks and pulled one over. Other than the anonymous tip, the officer’s reason for stopping my client was that he slowed the speed of his vehicle, observed the officer through the truck’s side-view mirror, and refused to make eye contact with the officer.
A search of the truck turned up nearly two tons of marijuana and an illegal pistol.
On appeal we were able to successfully exclude all of the marijuana and the gun. The client’s conviction was overturned, he was freed from prison, and the case was dismissed.
[/pane]
[pane title=”False Compartment for Smuggling Purposes” background_image=””]
Client purchased a used car for his wife. While driving across the border, narcotics dogs alerted to his vehicle and he was directed to secondary inspection. The customs officers tore the car apart and found four hidden compartments built into the frame of the car.
My client’s previous attorney advised him to take a plea to a felony charge and serve 6 months in custody.
My client, a government contractor with special clearances, refused to put his freedom, career, and reputation at risk, declined the plea bargain and hired me.
Our investigation revealed that the prior owner had been arrested six times for drug offenses, and the most recent arrest was only 3 months prior to the sale of the car to my client. After presenting this information to the District Attorney the case was dismissed.
[/pane]
[pane title=”Burglary and Receiving Stolen Property” background_image=””]
Client was arrested on suspicion of stealing items worth more than $25,000.00. Client was charged with felony burglary and receiving stolen property, and was facing up to three years in prison. However, after extensive negotiation with the District Attorney, we were able to reach a resolution involving restitution, a felony reducible to a misdemeanor, community service, and no custody time whatsoever.
[/pane]
[pane title=”Assault likely to Produce Great Bodily Injury” background_image=””]
Juvenile client was charged with setting his girlfriend’s hair on fire, a potential strike felony. My client’s family was very proactive, and provided good structure and guidance at home. Client ultimately admitted an allegation of misdemeanor simple battery committed while on school grounds, and was placed on probation for 1 year.
[/pane]
[pane title=”Identity Theft” background_image=””]
Client, an undocumented immigrant who first arrived in this country as an infant with his mother, was charged with multiple counts of felony identity theft. Client had no prior criminal history and used the identity of a relative to work in the United States. After negotiation with the District Attorney, we were able to resolve the case for a non-deportable offense and minimal custody time.
