Felony or Misdemeanor • State, Federal and Juvenile Courts

Attorney Barbara Foster has practiced law for 20 years, previously spending 16 years with the district attorney's office before joining our firm. She has represented the accused on the full spectrum of charges, including:

Fighting to Protect You From the Consequences

You can do more harm than good by cooperating with police or arguing your own innocence. The best recourse is always to exercise your right to remain silent and demand an attorney. Ms. Foster will give you an honest assessment of the case against you and represent you from your initial court appearance and release from custody through all hearings, motions, negotiations and, if necessary, at trial.

She is skilled at finding problems with the conduct of police or the prosecution's evidence to get your case dismissed or reduced to a more appropriate charge. She will help you make an informed decision about pleading guilty versus taking your case to a jury. And she makes every effort to avoid prison, jail and license suspension, or to limit the fines and punishments at sentencing.
