David L. Wilkirson has practiced in California since 1974, with experience in hundreds of criminal trials. He knows criminal law, and he knows the tendencies of prosecutors and judges throughout Orange County, Riverside County and San Bernardino County. In addition to 30 years as a criminal defense lawyer, Mr. Wilkirson previously served as a police officer for 12 years for the Orange County Marshal's Department. Clients benefit from his important insights into law enforcement procedures regarding arrest and traffic stops, search warrants and gathering of evidence, interrogation, plea bargains, and all the issues in building a case against a defendant.

Working for the Best Possible Outcome
In your free initial consultation, David Wilkirson will listen to the circumstances of your arrest, advise you of all your rights, and outline your options and the probable outcome of your case. Immediately afterward, he commences a thorough investigation, searching for any weaknesses in the case against you. Clients are informed regularly, and given dependable advice about going to trial versus negotiating with prosecutors for lesser penalties.

In a DUI case, for example, Mr. Wilkirson will:

examine the probable cause for the stop
review results of field sobriety or BAC tests administered
research the reliability of testing equipment and lab procedures
challenge the legality of the charge as it relates to driving

In addition to criminal court appearances, we represent clients at administrative hearings regarding driver's license suspension, including requests for limited driving privileges while the criminal case is pending.
