Experienced Criminal Defense Lawyer
During any criminal matter, it is important that an attorney conducts a thorough investigation of the facts surrounding your case, including whether there was probable cause for any search, seizure, or arrest. As a dedicated practitioner, Attorney Erik Johnson will investigate and examine evidence to determine the best possible way to create a strong defense for your DUI, domestic violence, assault, theft, or drug charge.
DUI
Each year, thousands of people are charged with driving under the influence (DUI) of drugs or alcohol in the State of California. Many of these arrests occur, however, due to aggressive law enforcement that causes innocent drivers to be unfairly arrested and charged. At the Law Offices of Erik Steven Johnson, we are dedicated to defending clients against DUI charges ranging from first-time offenses to felony drunk driving.
Drug Crimes
If you accused of a drug crime in California, it is a very serious allegation that could significantly affect your future. Once you are arrested, it is imperative that you consult a skilled criminal defense lawyer. Attorney Erik Johnson has been defending San Jose clients charged with drug crimes and relating criminal offenses for over ten years.
Domestic Violence
California prosecutors aggressively pursue convictions in domestic violence cases. If you have been accused of domestic violence, the prosecution may still pursue charges, even if the accuser tries to "take back" the allegation or refuses to press charges. At the Law Offices of Erik Steven Johnson, we understand that domestic violence charges do not only affect the accused, but can significantly harm the fabric of the family.
Theft & Embezzlement
Theft includes a variety of offenses including employee theft, embezzlement, fraud, and retail theft. Many people who are charged with theft were either at the wrong place or the wrong time or made bad decisions due to their financial situation. It is imperative to consult a skilled criminal defense lawyer who can advise you on your rights. Attorney Erik Johnson has over ten years of experience aiding clients throughout the Bay Area.
Sex Crimes
If you have been charged with a sex crime in California, it is important to consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Any statement you make to the police, or even friends and family members, can be used against you. At the Law Offices of Erik Steven Johnson, we provide intelligent, aggressive criminal defense representation to clients facing sex crime charges.
Record Clearing
A mark on your criminal record can make life very difficult, making it hard to find a job, rent an apartment and enroll in a university. In California, you can seek an expungement for certain criminal convictions. An expungement does not erase your criminal record, but effectively sets it aside, allowing you to truthfully answer "no" if asked if you have that conviction on your record.
