Practice Areas Description

- Juvenile Defense

If you are a minor facing a criminal charge, or if your child has been arrested for a juvenile offense, you want an experienced lawyer to protect your rights. A conviction can be serious, but it doesn't have to stay on your record forever. An experienced attorney may be able to help you minimize the consequences of an arrest or conviction.

- Assault

If you have been charged with assault, you want a knowledgeable and experienced lawyer to protect your interests. An assault prosecution can have serious consequences, from fines to jail time. You could also put your job at risk and make it difficult to find employment in certain professions.

- Theft

If you have been charged with any type of theft crime, you want an experienced and aggressive lawyer to defend you. The consequences of a conviction can be devastating and can stay with you for a long time. You could put your employment at risk and exclude yourself from consideration for work in certain occupations. You want an attorney who has successfully protected the rights of people in circumstances just like yours.

- DUI/DWI

If you are convicted on a DUI or drug charge your life can suddenly become extremely difficult. In addition to fines, you may face incarceration or the loss of driving privileges. You could put your job at risk and disqualify yourself from employment opportunities in certain professions. You want an experienced lawyer to protect your constitutional rights.

- Domestic Violence

If you have been accused of or charged with domestic violence, you want an experienced criminal defense lawyer to protect your constitutional rights. The process can move swiftly and the consequences can be devastating. You can go to jail, lose your right to own or possess a firearm, become subject to a restraining or no contact order, and be ordered to participate in a domestic violence program. You want an attorney who knows and understands the process, who has helped others in situations like yours.

- Driving with Suspended License

If you have been ticketed for operating a motor vehicle with a suspended or revoked license, you may think you have no option other than to plead guilty and pay your fine. The consequences of such a response, however, can be severe. In addition to the fine, you could face two years of probation and add significant points to your driving record, which could lead to the suspension of your driving privileges as well as an increase in your car insurance premiums.

- Child Porn Defense

When you are charged with a sexual offense involving minors, whether it's child molestation or possession of child pornography, you want an experienced and aggressive lawyer to protect your reputation and your rights. Because of the nature of these types of crimes, simply being charged can be devastating. In many instances, you can be convicted in the court of public opinion before you have even had a chance to tell your side of the story. You want an attorney who will stand strong for you, who has handled these types of cases before and who knows how to take swift action to protect your constitutional rights.

- Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

You have a job; you receive a steady income. Yet outside circumstances prevent you from paying bills on time and keeping ahead of debt. Perhaps you have extensive medical bills or you are paying a mortgage that is more than the value of your house. Whatever your situation, filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be your best option to achieve debt relief and give yourself a fresh start.

- Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

If you face an overwhelming amount of personal debt, for any reason, and you see no way out of your dilemma, filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy can help you build a bridge to a brighter future. In a Chapter 7 proceeding, you can permanently discharge certain debts in exchange for the sale of some of your assets. You want an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer to guide you through the process — someone who will take the time to learn the unique aspects of your situation and will help you get the relief you need.

- Foreclosure And Repossession

When facing the prospect of bankruptcy, one of the primary questions debtors have is "Can I keep my home and car?" While each case is different, there are often options that can prevent home foreclosure and property repossession. At Harris & Cvietkovich, LLP, in San Jose, California, we examine our clients' situations and advise them on their legal options. As skilled bankruptcy lawyers, we carefully explain what can be done so our clients understand and can make informed decisions about their next steps.

- Landlord/Tenant Law

We assist landlords with efficient eviction of tenants who fail to pay rent or commit other contract breaches. By properly handling all legal requirements, I help my clients protect their business interests and avoid unnecessary complications. We work with Residential and Commercial owners, landlords, and their agents through the eviction process and lease negotiations.

- Creditor Harassment

If you are struggling to make ends meet and have fallen behind on some of your bills, you may find it stressful to get through each day. Every time the phone rings, you are afraid that it's another creditor who will try to get you to promise to make payments that you really can't afford. You may be reluctant to go to the mailbox for fear that there will be threatening letters from bill collectors. When you need help stopping creditor harassment, a bankruptcy lawyer can take action to immediately get you some relief.
