Criminal Defense in Sierra County

Sierra County is one of the smallest counties in California, and that changes how criminal cases work. With one courthouse and a small group of local officials, the same prosecutors, judges and officers see each other again and again. You need a lawyer who understands how cases are built and can stand up for you in that setting. Criminal cases are heard at the Sierra County Superior Court, 100 Courthouse Square in Downieville, a little over an hour up Highway 49 from our Nevada City office.

We handle:

DUI Defense in Sierra County

A DUI arrest in Sierra County starts two cases at once: a DMV case that can suspend your license, and a criminal case in court. You have only 10 days from your arrest to request a DMV hearing, or your license is suspended automatically. In a rural county where driving is the only way to get to work, school or the store, protecting your license matters even more. We handle both cases.

Here’s What People Are Saying

“Kenny is the best and these are the reasons why. What Kenny says will happen, happens. He doesnt let you down in any way. He is kind, personable, has good energy, and is funny but serious and to the point. He is very much like a friend with no BS! He asked “anonymous” for a few documents to prove a case and anonymous got all charges dropped when they were faced with 2 misdemeanor charges with possible jail time, fines, probation and/or classes to attend. When you call he gets back to you immediately and is never pushy or aggressive. He’s not only a great lawyer, he’s a great guy and I would recommend him over any attorney in Nevada County.”
