Established in 1994, The Law Office of James Siegrist in Point Loma’s Liberty Station (State Bar #174766) defends DUI, drug, and domestic-violence charges across Southern California. A UC Hastings law degree supplemented by international law study at the University of Leiden and the University of Guanajuato layers comparative-law depth onto the defense practice, sharing Liberty Station referral pathways with Law Office of Matthew H. Springmeyer for non-criminal matters. Trilingual capability in English, Portuguese, and Spanish enables direct client communication through arraignment preparation, plea negotiation, and trial testimony without interpreter delays. The criminal-defense scope — misdemeanor through felony, DMV administrative hearings through Superior Court jury trials — spans every San Diego County courthouse, with co-defendant conflict matters routing to Cannavino Law, APC when separate counsel is required. Multi-count felony cases demanding expert toxicology testimony and accident-reconstruction analysis represent the practice’s highest-stakes trial work.
