Prentiss Law Office

Time is critical because you typically have only ten days to request a DMV hearing to contest your license suspension. Our Criminal Defense Attorney Redding team can file this request on your behalf and begin gathering evidence while the details are fresh. The sooner we start building your defense strategy, the better.

Attorney Prentiss’s background as a former prosecutor gives us a unique perspective, allowing us to anticipate prosecution strategies and identify flaws in the case that other defense attorneys might overlook. We understand the local court system and have established excellent relationships throughout Shasta County’s legal community.

Yes. Our experience allows us to address both family court implications and criminal defense aspects simultaneously. We understand how protective orders can affect custody, and we work to protect your parental rights while defending against criminal charges.

During your initial meeting, we will thoroughly review your situation. We’ll ask detailed questions about the arrest or charges, examine any documentation you’ve brought, and explain the potential outcomes honestly.

Criminal convictions can impact your life far beyond fines and jail time. We’ve seen clients face employment challenges, professional license suspensions, housing difficulties, and immigration complications. DUI convictions may require ignition interlock devices and mandatory programs. Felony convictions can affect voting rights and firearm ownership.
