Anaheim, California, Criminal Defense Lawyer
In our culture -- particularly on television and in movies -- police officers are depicted as the good guys. But if you're on the receiving end of a Miranda warning -- "you have the right to remain silent..." - suddenly they don't seem that friendly. Welcome to the criminal justice system, where the odds are stacked against you.
In reality, the criminal justice process can be very confusing and intimidating. The government has complete control over you, and will use its army of resources to try to put you behind bars. The state will subject you to intensive questioning, during which police officers will use many tactics -- legal and illegal -- to get you to admit to something you may not have done. Whether you face a DUI charge or allegations of fraud, drug crimes or murder, it's in your interest to speak to an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Before you say anything to the police that you may regret later -- remember, your words can and will be used against you in court or law -- contact criminal defense lawyer Don Werno so he can fight for your freedom.
Attorney Don Werno is an experienced criminal defense trial attorney who has represented hundreds of clients accused of breaking the law. We represent Clients accused of committing the following crimes, and many more:
- White-collar crimes such as Forgery, Bad Checks, Embezzlement and Fraud
- DUI / DWI (Drugs and / or Alcohol) including DMV Hearings

- Drug Cases (Possession for Use, Possession for Sale, Drug Diversion)
- Sex Crimes (Sexual Assault, Misconduct, Molestation and Rape)
- Burglary, Assault, Battery, Robbery, Gang Crimes and Gang Enhancements

If you're charged with Driving Under the Influence of drugs or alcohol (DUI), you risk automatically losing your license unless you file a timely request for an administrative law hearing with the DMV. We can file that request on your behalf, and will represent you at the administrative hearing along with all court proceedings necessary to fully resolve your legal problem. Additionally, pilot's have a duty to inform the FAA when they are arrested for traffic violations such as a DUI.
Lawyer Don Werno routinely represents pilots before the National Transportation Safety Board when they are accused by the FAA of regulatory violation such as failure to following the instruction of an air traffic controller, a TFR violation or an altitude deviation. With our extensive hands-on aviation experience, we are uniquely suited to defend airmen and woman and protect their valuable flying privileges.
Don Werno is a strong negotiator, with years of experience, who will work hard to negotiate a fair deal on your behalf when there are no other options available. However, he is also an accomplished trial lawyer, who is not afraid to go to trial if negotiations are unsuccessful or if you don't have a better option. In either case, Don Werno is there to protect your rights and your freedom.
