Aggressive Criminal Defense Lawyer in Northern California
A criminal charge can have serious consequences for you and your entire family. In addition to the possibility of jail time and excessive fines, a conviction can prevent you from obtaining child custody or favorable visitation rights. Because the stakes are so high, it is critical that you hire a skilled lawyer to protect you.
My name is Michael Darlington. I defend clients charged with a range of crimes affecting families. I have 26 years of experience in criminal law. My goal is to minimize the impact of the charges against you.
Regardless of the stage of your criminal law case — whether you have just been arrested, are going to trial or are filing an appeal — I can help you. Contact me online for a free initial consultation.
Strong Defense for a Variety of Crimes
For 26 years, I have defended individuals charged with a variety of crimes affecting families, including:
- Child abuse/child endangerment
- Underage drinking
- Drug offenses
- DUI
- Domestic violence
When you have been charged with a crime — any crime — it's critical that you contact an experienced criminal law defense attorney immediately. Before attempt to explain the situation to the police, call an attorney with a proven record of success to protect your rights.
Extensive Experience And Dedicated Representation
My vast experience in the courtroom is not restricted to the adversarial side of the bench. I spent 15 years as Judge Pro Tem in the Family Law Courts of San Bernardino County. This experience allowed me to understand how judges view cases. I use this knowledge to build strong defenses for my clients. Although I pursue negotiations when possible, I am prepared to take each case to trial if necessary.
