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.

Don't wait until it's too late. Contact Wilber Law Offices, P.C. today to ensure your rights are protected!

    “I’ve known Ryan for the better part of 20 years, he is very passionate about his work and it shows!”
    I just went through the painstaking process of getting a DUI in Sonoma County. Ryan Wilber and his team did an amazing job in making this process go as smooth as possible. I’ve known Ryan for the better part of 20 years, he is very passionate about his work and it shows! Ryan and his office kept me informed with the most up to date information regarding my case and I was also able to log into an online account that was set up where I could access all of my documents. If you need legal help I would highly recommend Wilber Law Offices.

    “Ryan is a consummate professional. I would recommend his services to anyone.”
    Ryan is a consummate professional. I hired him to represent me on a high value fraud case. He was very attentive to my requests, always followed up with me in a timely manner, and ultimately won my case to the tune of over $400,000.

    “I’ve consulted Ryan over the last year on several legal matters, both personal and financial. His knowledge of the law is comprehensive and his counsel has been invaluable to me.”
    I’ve consulted Ryan over the last year on several legal matters, both personal and financial. His knowledge of the law is comprehensive and his counsel has been invaluable to me. I’ve talked to a few other lawyers in the past that I felt good about and were knowledgeable, but where Ryan really stood apart from the others was in his ability to help me fully grasp my options and clarify the legal process so I could make hard decisions with confidence. I was getting pushed around and feeling a bit intimidated before he helped me fight back. I’m very thankful to have Ryan there when I need him!
    Former Client
    “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.
