Practice Areas Description

- DUI / Drunk Driving

Charges for driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs (sometimes referred to as DWI) in California carry serious consequences that can last a lifetime. If you were pulled over or stopped at a DUI checkpoint and your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was over the state minimum of .08, your arrest could result in a criminal conviction — a conviction that carries consequences including serious fines, driver's license suspension, even jail time.


- Drug Charges

Drug possession can be a minor criminal charge. But the consequences can be serious if the case is not handled properly. As a criminal defense attorney with more than 35 years of experience in courts throughout California's Inland Empire, I have successfully defended clients against a wide range of felony and misdemeanor drug charges. The most important advice, without a doubt, is: Do not talk to the police.


- Domestic Violence

Family matters can easily escalate from a general discussion to a more intense situation where things are said and done out of emotion. Unfortunately, these heated circumstances can sometimes lead to domestic violence, or just accusations of domestic violence.


- Assault & Battery

The brutality of injuries that resulted from an assault or number of offenses that occurred during the alleged incident may have a direct effect on the types of penalties an individual may be facing if arrested on assault or battery charges. Whether you have been falsely accused of assault during a bar fight or a misunderstanding between spouses turned into domestic violence accusations, it is essential to take steps toward protecting yourself, your rights and your future.


- Vehicular Manslaughter

Vehicular manslaughter cases are very serious and require zealous defense. The accusation that you killed someone while operating a vehicle can have permanent legal and personal impact. You may be facing serious consequences if convicted of vehicular manslaughter, including jail, prison time and large fines.


- Misdemeanors

Though a misdemeanor cannot result in more than a year in county jail, there is no reason to treat these types of charges as if they are nothing. Misdemeanors may carry lesser sentences than felonies, but should be treated just as seriously in order to protect your rights and your future.


- Sex Offenses

Being accused of a sex crime has many implications beyond potential incarceration and fines. Accusations alone can lead to judgment in the court of public opinion long before your case reaches an actual courtroom. Hiring an experienced criminal defense attorney can help to limit the public exposure of your case as well as provide you with aggressive advocacy.


- Sexual Assault and Rape

Cases involving sexual assault or rape are seldom black and white. The truth of what happened usually lies somewhere in between. Each party has their own story. If you have been accused of having nonconsensual sex, an experienced criminal defense lawyer can help you separate the fact from fiction, often salvaging your reputation and your future.


- Statutory Rape

In the state of California, it is unlawful for someone over the age of 18 to have sex with a minor, even if the minor has consented. The law was put in place due to the belief that an underage person does not have the ability to make informed decisions regarding sexual conduct. If you have been charged with having unlawful sexual intercourse, more commonly known as statutory rape, you may be facing serious consequences including time in prison.


- Child Molestation

If you have been accused of child sexual abuse, it is absolutely critical to your defense that you do not speak with police, prosecutors, friends, or family. Contact a criminal defense lawyer with experience in protecting the rights of accused child molesters. In almost 40 years as an Irvine criminal defense attorney, I have successfully defended clients charged with a wide variety of sex offenses, including crimes involving children.


- Indecent Exposure

In California, it is illegal to purposely expose one's private parts in public with the intent of alarming or offending others. Known as indecent exposure, these acts are often committed for the sexual enjoyment of the offender. Indecent exposure is considered criminal sexual conduct. Penalties can include incarceration and fines.


- Internet Sex Crimes

Increasingly in this age of technology, people find themselves facing criminal charges of using the Internet to download child pornography, solicit a minor for sexual purposes (Internet luring), or other criminal sexual behavior. Those accused of Internet sex crimes may feel a sense of security in the privacy of their homes. However, these cases are aggressively investigated and fiercely prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.


- Child Pornography

Were the images on the computer really yours? Did the pop-up download child porn spontaneously? Are you addicted to child porn? Currently, child porn activity is being aggressively investigated and prosecuted. The Internet draws people who would otherwise never be involved with children into what is now considered criminal sexual criminal activity. They have a right to powerful and effective defense representation.


- Sex Offender Registration

You may have made a mistake, or you may have been wrongly convicted. If you were convicted of a sexual offense, even something as simple as patting a woman on the buttocks, you may be required to register as a sex offender, possibly for your lifetime. There may be a way to end or avoid that requirement.


- White Collar Crime

If you are under investigation for a white collar crime, you have much at risk. Life as you know it could quickly come to an end if you do not take immediate action. When the government charges an individual with a white collar crime, they may have spent months or even years building their case. Drawing upon their nearly limitless resources, they rarely bring a case they cannot win.


- Embezzlement

Embezzlement charges or accusations are extremely serious. Even allegations against an employee may result in his or her inability to obtain a job in the future. If you are being accused of theft from your employer, or embezzlement, enlist the assistance of an experienced lawyer. At The Law Offices of Kenneth L. Schreiber, in Irvine, California, I have over 35 years of criminal defense experience.
