Founded in 1975, the Law Office of James M. Hollabaugh has been vigorously and effectively defending those who have been accused of committing crimes. For 27 years, the Firm has successfully represented hundreds of persons, both citizens and non-citizens, and has earned the respect and praise of many judges and prosecutors. The Firm's underlying philosophy is that the uncompromising assertion of Constitutional and Statutory Rights is a prerequisite to our individual and national freedoms.

With so many years of experience, the Firm has developed expertise in virtually all aspects of misdemeanor and felony law in the juvenile and adult courts at the trial and appellate levels. This expertise includes: assault/battery, spousal abuse, burglary, welfare fraud, drug offenses (including Diversion and Prop.36), "drunk" driving, license suspension, forgery, theft, rape and other sex offenses (including indecent exposure & molestation), murder, manslaughter, probation issues, and post-conviction remedies.

Though located in Fremont, the high demand for the Firm's services has led to its representing clients in all Bay Area counties as well as the Central Valley and Northern California. Out-of-state defendants who are charged with crimes in California are welcome.

Every client will be warmly received and respectfully treated. A full factual investigation and legal analysis will be promptly done. Complete client interviews as well as the critical reading of police, witness and medical reports produce a factual foundation. Where necessary, highly qualified outside experts and investigators will be retained. After that, intense legal analysis, based on the Firm's in-house library (including powerful on-line legal research services), is done to produce a successful strategy to most effectively defend the client against the criminal charges.
