Why You Need a Criminal Defense Attorney in Santa Rosa 

The criminal process can be filled with the unknown and often comes with disrespectful treatment by police, prosecutors, and the court system. Our Santa Rosa criminal lawyers are here to guide you through the process with compassion, empathy, skill, and knowledge. In your time of need, we will work tirelessly to explore every possible defense in your case and make sure you understand all the options you have. We love what we do and are here to help.

You may be at risk of: 

  • Jail or prison time
  • Large fines
  • Probation
  • Other penalties depending on the nature and severity of the charges

A conviction can not only expose you to those criminal penalties but seriously impact your future with a permanent criminal record. When accessed through a background check, you may be prevented from obtaining future employment, housing, professional career licenses, and advanced education. If you are a noncitizen, a criminal record can negatively impact your immigration status. For all these reasons and more, it is essential that you have the representation of a proven Sonoma County defense attorney.

Understanding Your Rights: A Key Component of Criminal Defense

Being accused of a crime can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. That's why understanding your rights is crucial when navigating the legal system. At Wilber Law Offices, P.C., we believe that knowledge is empowering. Our team is committed to ensuring you fully understand your rights from the moment you face an accusation.

Here are some essential rights you should know:

  • The Right to Remain Silent: You are not obligated to speak to police officers or investigators without your attorney present.
  • The Right to Legal Representation: You have the right to hire a lawyer to represent you and defend your case aggressively.
  • The Right to a Fair Trial: Every individual is entitled to a fair trial, where evidence is presented and judged impartially.
  • The Right to Be Informed: You have the right to receive clear information regarding the charges against you, potential penalties, and the legal process.
  • The Right to Appeal: If convicted, you have the right to appeal the decision to a higher court.

Our experienced attorneys are here to explain these rights in detail and advocate for you at every stage of your case. We encourage you to reach out with any questions or concerns, as understanding your rights can significantly impact the outcome of your legal situation.

    “Focused, Articulate and Thoughtful. Ryan is an asset to anyone needing legal assistance.”
    Ryan is an asset to anyone needing legal assistance. Whether it is a simple question, a case where you need valuable perspective, or the beginning of a long and arduous process, Ryan has the knowledge and intellect that you want on your side. His thoughtful demeanor, his knowledge of the law and his desire to succeed are all traits that are surprisingly lacking with some other attorneys. I would not hesitate to use Ryan for any of my legal needs now and in the future.

    “Thank You! I am beyond thankful and amazed by their work.”
    Ryan absolutely did magic on my trial, and was able to change my life by dodging an underage DUI. This would have been huge for my life and record for 10 years !  Jake as well was always there when I needed him. Always had time, patient and helped me tremendously with the stress I was going through during the process of my DUI. Both were genuine and caring attorneys who are the best at what they do. Thank You ! I am beyond thankful and amazed by their work.
