Chambers Defense Practice Areas

Crimes in San Rafael are categorized as either misdemeanors or felonies. Some offenses are wobblers, meaning that can be charged as either misdemeanors or felonies depending on the specific circumstances of the case. 

No criminal accusation, including misdemeanors, should be taken lightly. All offenses can negatively impact your life by potentially putting you behind bars and requiring steep fines. But the consequences do not stop there. A criminal record can impact your ability to go to college or be approved for housing. You can lose professional licenses or driving privileges. 

Make Chambers Defense your first call if you are being questioned or investigated regarding any of the following: 

DUI 

According to the California Department of Motor Vehicles, there were more than 124,000 arrests for driving under the influence in 2019. Marin County alone filed nearly 1,000 DUI cases in 2021.

Each case is unique and requires a tailored defense strategy to minimize or eliminate repercussions that can have a lasting impact. Attorney Chambers pores over every detail of the case to unearth potential tactics to support the best possible outcome. 

Domestic Violence 

When law enforcement is called to the scene of possible domestic violence, they must investigate the situation and speak separately with the involved parties and witnesses. The investigation may also include processing any potential crime scene and photographing possible injuries. 

California law requires police to arrest someone if probable cause exists that the person committed domestic violence. Officers will take the person into custody, even if the alleged victim asks otherwise. Potential charges include battery, traumatic injury, threats, and stalking. A person can also be arrested for violating a domestic violence protective order. 

If you are investigated for domestic violence in San Rafael, stay calm and do not make statements to the police. Call Attorney Chambers to begin fighting for your side as soon as possible.

Restraining Orders 

The Golden State has four types of restraining orders: domestic violence restraining order, elder or dependent adult abuse restraining order, civil harassment restraining order, and workplace violence restraining order. The circumstances of the situation determine which type of restraining order – also called a protective order – is appropriate.

Restraining orders include directives such as the following: 

• Mandate that the subject stop specific acts (stalking, striking, contacting, destroying property) against those named in the order
• Require the subject to stay away from the protected person where they live, work, and other important places they go
• Force the subject to move out of a home they share with the protected person, allowing them to take only clothing and other personal items.

Alleged violations of any condition specified in the restraining order can mean jail, a fine, or both.
