Aggressive Attorneys Striving for the Best Results

At the law offices of Hinkle, Jachimowicz, Pointer & Emanuel, we believe that every citizen deserves competent, aggressive counsel.

Our team of criminal lawyers includes two former police officers and a Certified Criminal Law Specialist (State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization). We understand the procedures police and prosecutors are required to follow and will assure you that your civil and constitutional rights are not violated in either state or federal court.
