Dudek Bonilla Cintean

Firm Overview

The lawyers at Dudek Bonilla Cintean LLP are aware of the stress and fear that you or a loved one faces when under investigation or being charged with a criminal offense. Whether it is the loss of your freedom, the loss of your professional license or even the loss of a driver’s license, our attorneys are prepared and experienced to fight for your rights to protect you. Having a team of dedicated professionals working with, and for you, is the only way to protect your freedom.

Having handled thousands of cases from complex murder trials to more simple DUI cases and trespassing charges throughout the state, our attorneys have never forgotten that any conviction may change someone’s life. Having represented many professionals such as lawyers, law firms, doctors, nurses, contractors and businesses charged with crimes, we know how important this is to your professional and personal life. Our defense attorneys search for every angle and every factor that may lessen a charge or lead to a dismissal. With vast experience in plea bargaining and trial, our defense lawyers know that only dedication and preparation of your case will lead to the best result.

Whether you believe that you are guilty or you know you are innocent, you need a good defense attorney. There is a misconception that only guilty people need an attorney. While it is true that if you believe that you may be guilty you need an attorney to represent your rights, your need for an attorney is even greater if you believe you are innocent. Simply leaving it up to the system to figure out your innocence doesn’t unfortunately work. There are too many people that have lost their reputation and even freedom and were later determined to be innocent. All cases handled by our legal team are viewed with an eye to trial. We believe in working cases for the benefit of our clients. We know that leverage is the key to a successful negotiation. In criminal law, the most important leverage in negotiations a person has against the government is trial. Everything we do through investigation, motions, planning and research is to gain an advantage for our clients.

We will never bring a client to trial if we can gain a dismissal before trial. It is our goal in every case to demonstrate to the government the weaknesses of their case and convince the prosecuting attorney not to pursue criminal charges. We are adept at presenting the evidence that helps our clients.

The success of our firm has always been based on the simple philosophy that the client comes first. We will do everything legally possible to help you. When you hire the Bay Area defense attorneys at Dudek Bonilla Cintean LLP we work for you.
