Writing
Insights and Case Notes
Notes on criminal defense and restraining order hearings in Shasta County, written between cases rather than by a marketing department.
Most of this writing is about restraining orders, which is not an accident. It is the area where the gap between what people assume and what actually happens at a hearing is widest.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Any case described in these notes turned on its own facts and circumstances.
[CLIENT CONFIRM: post excerpts are deliberately not written here. They will be pulled from the opening lines of each published post during migration rather than composed, so this index never describes a post differently than the post describes itself.]Restraining Orders
Criminal Defense
Where to Start
If you are here because something has already happened, the practice pages are more useful than the writing.
Served with a restraining order: responding to a domestic violence restraining order. Seeking one, or working out which type applies: restraining orders.
Charged with a crime: criminal defense. A parenting dispute alongside either of those: child custody and visitation.
And if you have a court date already, the Shasta County Superior Court guide covers what happens at each stage.

Talk Through Your Case
If you have been charged, served, or contacted by an investigator, the sooner a defense begins the more of it there is to build. Consultations are available.
