Primary Practice Areas
California Vehicle Code
Section 23152(a) states that it is unlawful for
a person to operate a motor vehicle while he or
she is under the influence of alcohol. This
charge is usually filed with Vehicle Code
Section 23152(b) which makes it unlawful to
operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol
concentration of .08% or higher.
This is a very common offense that can be
charged as either a felony or misdemeanor. It is
important to understand that there are numerous
steps you must take in order to protect not only
your driving privileges, but also your due
process rights. Pacheco & Somera is very

of your case.

MISDEMEANOR AND FELONY DEFENSE
Misdemeanors provide for a less serious punishment than felonies. However, they still require experienced and aggressive attorneys. Felonies are the most serious of offenses and require vigorous defense.
Our attorneys are willing to put in the extra time to fight for you and get the best possible defense. Each case is treated with skill and expertise in fighting for the result you deserve.
You have several civil rights, including freedom of speech, press, assembly, the right to vote, freedom from involuntary servitude, and the right to equality in public places. These rights cannot be denied or interfered due to race, sex, or age.
If you have been denied any of these rights, you may be able to file a claim and collect damages. Our firm has successfully settled several claims of this nature.
Personal injury lawsuits arise as a result of being injured by someone else’s negligence, which causes physical and emotional pain and suffering. General negligence can be defined as a person not acting as a reasonable person would under the same or similar circumstances. In order to prevail in a personal injury case, we must prove that the other party was negligent, and that but for their negligence, you would not have been injured.
Our goal in representing you in your personal injury matter will be to protect your rights as an injured victim. We understand that these matters may be difficult and painful, not only physically and mentally, but also financially. This can place stress on you and your family and our attorneys will work aggressively to get the most favorable result.
Administrative law is the body of law governing administrative agencies such as California Contractor’s Board, Department of Social Services, Licensing and Certification Board, Real Estate Board, and the Construction Board. These agencies apply law through enforcement of regulations pertaining to a benefit or license applied for by the applicant. When the applicant objects to the denial of these benefits or effects on their license, an administrative hearing is held.
While these hearings are informal, they are very important. Without representation, it may seem as though these administrative agencies have the “upper hand”. Our firm is dedicated to achieving the intended goal for our clients.
Our attorneys also provide strategic business counseling and assist our business clients in the growth of their business to the highest degree. Advising consists of legal issues, accounting issues, incorporating, employee relations, and general business contracts.
FACILITY CARE LICENSING
The application process for facility care licensing can be tedious and overwhelming for many individuals. However, any facility whose primary function is the protection, care, and supervision of persons outside their homes for periods of less than 24 hours per day by a person other than the parent, guardian, or relative is required to submit to this licensing process.
Our attorneys can help through this dreary process by assisting with the required paperwork.
