Our Story
About the Firm
If you are looking for excellent criminal defense in San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria, or Lompoc, then look no further. You have come to the right place. We are small team of experienced, and locally recognized criminal defense attorneys. We have received many prestigious honors including recognition by the National Trial Lawyers, Lead Counsel, and a Superb Rating from AVVO (Avvo’s highest rating). Beyond the professional honors, the primary difference between us, and the other attorneys out there is that we genuinely care about each and every one of our clients. We know everyone says that, but we guarantee that if you meet with us, you will quickly see that we are truly different from the rest. We are fearless. When we walk into court, the judge and the opposing party know that we have the confidence and the skills to go as far as we need to go to get the results you deserve.
Choosing the Right Criminal Attorney Can Save You Thousands of Dollars
In addition to being among the best local attorneys, we also believe in charging honest fees. One of the consequences of being so experienced in the local Central Coast court rooms is that we know how much work goes into most criminal cases and we do our best to charge our clients fair fees.
Many local San Luis Obispo attorneys over charge-and under perform. Our goal is to charge a fair fee and then exceed our clients expectations. Another way in which we are commonly able to save our clients money is by getting their charges reduced, negotiation down their fines, and reducing restitution payments. By doing these things, frequently save clients thousands of dollars.
Call us today and we explain some of the ways we can save you money.
Avoid Jail by Hiring a Local, Aggressive, Criminal Attorney
For the vast majority of our clients, the number one concern is avoiding jail. We are very proud of the fact that we are successful at helping the majority of our clients avoid jail. Most of our clients never spend another night in jail after they hire us. The key to helping clients stay out of jail is a careful and strategic defense of every single case. Further, we are familiar with the availability of jail alternatives such as work release (working for the sheriff) and electronic monitoring. In situations where the district attorney wants our clients to got to jail, we fight aggressively and work creatively to arrange for alternatives to jail. The result is that few of our clients end up in jail.

” We are so thankful we chose Central Coast Criminal Defense to represent our son! His case was complicated and took a lot of patience and time to complete. The fees were very reasonable compared to other attorneys. The team went above and beyond what is normally expected including ultimately getting the charges dismissed. Billy and Jamie were awesome and very patient with us while we worked through this process together. Having never been through anything like this as a family they always kept us informed even during the Pandemic. We cannot express how grateful we are to them for all of their hard work! “
” A few weeks ago, I needed help and had many specific questions. Kit Westbrook took time out of his busy day not only to call me back, but to answer my ALL of my questions.
