Experienced California Criminal Defense Attorney On Your Side
John Stanko is devoted exclusively to the defense of clients who have been charged with crimes in the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California.

If you are arrested you have the right to remain silent and consult a criminal defense lawyer. The sooner you call an experienced lawyer, the better. John Stanko offers a free initial consultation to discuss your case with you personally and confidentially.

Mr. Stanko's practice includes the defense of those charged with all crimes, felonies and misdemeanors, including drunk driving (DUI), theft crimes (burglary or robbery), domestic violence, assault and battery and drug crimes. He also assists clients with bail reductions, as well as post-conviction matters such as sentence reduction hearings, early termination of probation hearings, and the expungement of their cases.

Attorney John Stanko believes you owe it to yourself to talk to a criminal defense attorney who knows the law. Remember, he says, "You are innocent until proven guilty. Don't be a victim of illegal arrests, illegal charges, exaggerated charges and false evidence. I have established an impressive track record of helping clients avoid jail and getting on with their lives."

SAN RAFAEL, CALIFORNIA, CRIMINAL ATTORNEY

HELPING CLIENTS AVOID JAIL THROUGH ALTERNATIVE SENTENCING OPTIONS

Whether you have been charged with your first DUI or you are a repeat DUI offender facing mandatory jail time if convicted, you don’t necessarily have to go to jail or prison. Depending on your circumstances, an experienced criminal defense lawyer may be able to work out alternatives to actual, physical imprisonment or incarceration.

If you have been convicted of a crime in northern California, the Bay Area Law Office of John Stanko, Inc. may be able to help you find treatments, counseling and other alternatives to spending time behind bars. Contact us today to discuss the details of your case.

Dedicated Solely to Defending the Accused

Even if you face serious charges such as domestic assault, vehicular manslaughter or a repeat DUI where you can lose your license or go to jail, it is not the end of the world. As a criminal defense attorney, my sole focus is on your criminal defense. I will examine the criminal charges against you and determine what sentencing alternatives may be available in your case, including:

• House arrest
• Ankle bracelet programs
• In-residence treatment
• Alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs
• Therapy or counseling
• Community service

From Burlingame or San Rafael, California the Law Office of John Stanko, Inc. offers a variety of public and private therapy and treatment programs that may keep you from going to jail. There is hope. I work hard to help you put criminal matters behind you with minimal punishment.

IT IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE TO 'WIN' A CRIMINAL CASE

In some cases success may involve a dismissal of all charges. In others, obtaining a reduction in the charges against you, a reduced sentence or getting you placed in a diversionary program as an alternative to jail may represent a tremendous victory. However, no matter what the criminal charges against you are or whatever your circumstances may be, you can feel confident that I will do everything I can to achieve a successful result on your behalf.
