If you are Arrested or are the Target of an Investigation

• You have the right to an attorney – Use this right!
• Anything you say will be used against you – Say Nothing without an attorney!
• You have questions right now that need answers – Call for a free consultation!

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE – These are often the most defensible charges, as the charges alleged are often greatly exaggerated, or entirely fabricated. Early investigation and an aggressive defense can often make the difference in these cases.

DUI –A hearing with the DMV must be demanded within ten (10) days of your arrest in order to keep your license. DMV hearings are defensible given the right facts, and a restricted license may be granted after thirty (30) days of suspension in those cases where the suspension is upheld.

DRUGS & NARCOTICS – There is a major difference between a misdemeanor or felony for personal use and a felony possession for sale, sales or transportation. The difference is often a judgment call made by the local prosecutor, which is why you should have vigorous defense by an experienced criminal defense attorney.

FAMILY LAW - As one of the partners in Dependent Child Advocates in Ventura County, Mandee Sanderson has specialized training and qualifications which authorize her to represent children in Family Law and Dependency court. As such, she is regularly appointed by judges of the Ventura County Superior Court to represent children involved in custody matters. Dunn & Sanderson has now taken on Denise Trerotola as an attorney specializing in Family Law matters. Ms. Trerotola is particularly well qualified to handle Family Law cases, as she received the prestigious “Witkin Award” for Academic Excellence in Community Property while attending Ventura College of Law.

FELONY THREE STRIKES - California has the most punitive "Three Strikes" law in the nation. There is no "wash out" period for a prior strike. Two prior strikes and any new felony charge may make the defendant eligible for a sentence of 25 years to life. Even one prior prior will double the potential sentence on the new felony charge, and make the defendant ineligible for probation, and require him to serve 80% of any sentence time. The aggressive defense of three stike cases is essential for avoiding these draconian results.
