Oakland Criminal Defense Lawyers and Attorneys

Bruce S. Kapsack
DUI charges are rapidly becoming one of the most common criminal charges filed against individuals in the State of California. Even for a first offense, the penalties can be serious-including license suspension, fines of at least $1,300, mandatory attendance of DUI programs, and jail time. In addition, a DUI conviction stays on your DMV record for at least 7 years, and may result in higher insurance premiums. Furthermore, you may become ineligible for credit, and even lose your employment.

David L. Andersen
My practice emphasizes a couple different areas of law. The broad categories are Personal Injury and Criminal law. Within those categories of law, I have extensive experience with litigation (courtroom experience). If your legal matter needs to go to trial, be assured I'm right at home with litigation. In a time when the law is increasing complex, focusing my practice on just those two areas of law allows me to develop a familiarity with, and competency in those areas of law that a general practicioner is hard-pressed to match. In addition to my extensive experience in those two areas of law, I have also been given an AV-rating by my peers, the highest possible rating. This signifies my legal ability to be "very high to preeminent," and and my professional ethics above reproach.

John L. Burris
The Law Office of John L. Burris was formed in 1985. While the firm initially focused on criminal defense, it moved fairly quickly to an emphasis on civil rights, particularly in the context of police misconduct, racial and sexual discrimination. The firm has been instrumental in a number of social reforms including policies governing the use of canines, the use of deadly force, and the use of hog tying and pepper spray, among others. Burris work has also facilitated implementation of a protocol for police handling of the mentally impaired.

Combining criminal defense practice, civil rights practice and personal injury practice I focus on criminal justice, social justice and economic justice. Police brutality, discrimination and employment abuses can be stopped. They can only be stopped, however, when you take action. I invite you to call me to schedule your consultation.
