Criminal defense across the South Bay
Help with the charge you are facing
Contact Sherrod Defense about DUI, domestic violence, assault and battery, drug allegations, theft, probation matters, or serious felony charges. The defense begins with the particular facts: what witnesses actually saw, what recordings show, how evidence was obtained, and what the prosecution must prove.

From the investigation through the courtroom
Some clients call before charges have been filed. Others already have a court date or are considering changing attorneys. Tell us where your case stands so the consultation can focus on the decisions that matter now. Depending on the case, the work may include evidence review, investigation, motions, negotiation, and trial preparation.
