Serving the San Francisco and Silicon Valley Areas
Before becoming a defense lawyer, Attorney Dean Johnson worked on the other side of the aisle as a prosecutor in the District Attorney’s office. This unique experience and an academic background in strategic analysis are often helpful to his clients as he works to craft their own defense strategies. We understand how prosecutors think and the challenges they face, and we do all we can to leverage that knowledge at trial and during negotiations.
Our office routinely handles cases that include the following:
White Collar Crime
White-collar crime encompasses a range of deceitful practices alleged to have been done for financial gain. Clients often come to us for help on charges that include fraud, embezzlement, counterfeiting, violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, and tax evasion.
Homicide
Homicide, the act of one individual causing the death of another, stands as one of the gravest charges in the criminal justice system. The Law Offices of Dean Johnson has a profound understanding of the legal nuances that surround these cases. Whether it's a matter of self-defense, a tragic accident, or a circumstance with mitigating factors, we are here to give defendants an aggressive defense.
DUI Charges
The specifics of each DUI case can greatly affect the severity of the potential penalties, such as the driver’s blood alcohol content (BAC) level at the time of the arrest, any previous DUI convictions, and whether the incident resulted in an accident or injuries. Our approach is to meticulously analyze everything from the legality of the traffic stop to the accuracy of the BAC testing procedures. We strive to identify any potential weaknesses in the prosecution's case.
