Our Elite Lawyers Are Here to Fight for You

Everyone deserves the right to vigorous representation and a fair trial if accused of criminal misconduct. The Law Offices of Jeffrey C. Stotter is a team of service-oriented experts that are here to treat you as you deserve - innocent until proven guilty. We treat you with respect and fight for you to ensure that your case is treated fairly and that your charges are dismissed or reduced every time.

Murder/Attempt

We have formidable and lengthy experience in defending those accused of homicide, including First and Second Degree Murder, Negligent, Vehicular, Voluntary and Involuntary Manslaughter, as well as the attempt thereof.  Mr. Stotter has obtained dismissals and acquittals for many clients charged with such offenses.

Sexual Misconduct

We have  expertise and experience in representing clients who face the accusation of sexual misconduct of any type.  We have successfully taken cases to trial and won despite the existence of coerced confessions, lying witnesses, and manufactured evidence.

Robbery & Theft

We have provided winning representation to clients accused of robbery, theft, embezzlement and fraud.  We have the resources to conduct forensic accounting analysis to challenge the validity or amount of the alleged "loss".   Our expertise includes both cases of simple robbery/theft and of "white collar" crime.

DUI/Driving Offenses

We have  particular expertise in the defence of DUI (both alcohol and drugs) charges.  We utilize respected experts in the field of forensic alcohol and drug analysis, symptoms of intoxication, and will fight every aspect of your case to get the best results.

Drug Crimes

We have expertise and experience in representing clients who face charges of both possession, use, manufacture and trafficking in controlled substances or illegal drugs.  Likewise, in many cases we are able to help our clients receive conviction/custody alternatives such as treatment and rehabilitation.

Domestic Violence

We understand the emotional and personal trauma of being accused of such offenses.  The consequences of a conviction can be severe and last a lifetime.  It can impact employment, child custody and visitation, and even your freedom.  Such allegations can often arise from divorce or family law proceedings, and may often be disproven with effective investigation.

3 Strikes Law

California's "3 Strikes Law" provides for significantly enhanced penalties for those with previous convictions for certain "serious" or "violent" offenses.  In some cases, it can add years or even a lifetime of incarceration to an otherwise minor offense.  We can challenge such allegations and petition the court to dismiss them.

Gang/Weapons Charges

Gang or weapons enhancements or charges can turn an otherwise minor offense into a State Prison offense with up to a life sentence.  Often, law enforcement focuses on persons of color in charging "gang" allegations.  We have successfully challenged such discriminatory prosecutions in many cases.

Sentence Reduction/

Expungement

We represent many clients seeking reduction of sentence or reversal of an unjust conviction.  Often trial court errors or even changes in the law can result in early release or exoneration.  Further, we can request expungement (removal) of a prior criminal conviction or record based solely upon your post-conviction conduct or rehabilitation.
