Handling High-Profile Cases
WE KNOW HOW TO HANDLE HIGH-PROFILE CRIMINAL CASES
The Law Office of Jacqueline Goodman prides itself on having represented several high-profile clients over the years. Attorney Jacqueline Goodman has been at the forefront of criminal cases involving the death of an MLB player, as well as the high-profile freedom of speech case of the Muslim Student Union, the “Irvine 11.” These cases drew local, regional and even international scrutiny, and yet we were able to continue onward and achieve a positive outcome for our clients.
We believe in a set of core values when representing these cases. With so much at stake, we know you need an attorney who is sensitive to your privacy, resilient to public scrutiny, adaptable to the prosecution’s ever-changing strategy and offers the personal attention these serious cases deserve.
California DUI Penalties
While consequences can vary based on several factors, the basic penalties for drunk driving in the state of California are as follows:
Sensitivity
When you or your case is put under the media spotlight, it can be difficult to keep the details out of the public eye. A novice attorney may slip up and reveal something that could put your case, your rights and even your freedom at risk.
You need a lawyer who will protect your privacy and reputation. Our law firm is particularly careful in this regard.
Resilience
When your case is under the magnifying glass of the media, some lawyers may have a difficult time dealing with the public sentiment surrounding your case. Inexperience can quickly lead t lost opportunities or missteps in shaping public opinion. In high-profile cases, it’s vital to have a lawyer who remains collected and focused amidst the occasional media storm.
