About

Chula Vista criminal defense and personal injury attorney James L. Hassey holds California State Bar license #303914 and operates from the Shasta Street office in the city's western corridor. The firm's DUI and vehicle-accident caseload includes documenting collision damage through I-CAR Gold Class body shops — the same repair-certification standard maintained at Nice & Easy Collision Center in the area. Hassey's criminal defense practice covers felony and misdemeanor charges, DUI/DWI defense, drug offenses, and domestic-violence allegations, with a litigation approach built on aggressive preliminary-hearing cross-examination and pretrial motion strategy. Personal-injury clients recovering from soft-tissue and spinal injuries coordinate rehabilitation through chiropractic providers including Gerken Family Chiropractic, whose treatment records support the medical-specials component of demand packages. The practice's most complex matters include felony jury trials requiring expert-witness testimony on blood-alcohol retrograde extrapolation, Pitchess motions for officer-personnel records under Evidence Code Sections 1043–1047, and multi-defendant conspiracy cases demanding Aranda-Bruton severance analysis.
