California State Bar Certified Criminal Law Specialist credentials anchor Sevens Legal Criminal Lawyers, a Hillcrest criminal defense firm co-founded in 2013 whose founding partner previously served as a San Diego County Deputy District Attorney. The practice handles felony and misdemeanor charges spanning DUI, drug possession, domestic violence, and sex crimes up through murder and conspiracy cases, a full-spectrum criminal workload that runs parallel to the DUI-focused docket at MRDUI Law Office. Bilingual English-Spanish intake and an LGBTQ+ affirming practice policy let clients navigate preliminary hearings, Penal Code 1538.5 suppression motions, and jury trials without language or identity barriers. When charges cross into federal jurisdiction under Title 18 — wire fraud, interstate drug trafficking, or firearms offenses — matters often overlap with the work at Federal Criminal Defense Lawyers. One recent four-day preliminary hearing in a murder-and-conspiracy case involved challenging call detail records, Snapchat image metadata, and cell-tower triangulation to collapse the prosecution's theory before the information even issued. High-exposure sex crime defense rounds out the core workload, the category where forensic interview review, expert impeachment of CSAAS testimony, and mitigation reports most directly shape the ultimate outcome.
