Laws Governing State Practice

Some of these governing laws and rules involve the California Penal Code, the California Evidence Code, the Health and Safety Code, the California Business and Professions Code, and the California Rules of Court. David Fischer is a Placer County criminal attorney who continually participates in continuing legal education to keep current on changes to state laws and regulations concerning criminal matters.

Types of Cases

David Fischer is a Placer County criminal lawyer who has experience handling a wide variety of state and federal cases – from DUI to murder. The types of cases handled include most criminal matters including arson, assault and battery, assault with a deadly weapon, DUIs, DUI with injury, domestic violence, drug trafficking, unlawful firearms possession, vehicle theft, theft, embezzlement and other white-collar offenses, vehicular manslaughter, violent crimes, gang crimes, Three Strikes, vehicular manslaughter, and murder.

DUI, DUI with Injury, Vehicular Manslaughter

There are numerous issues with DUI cases. These cases blend search and seizure with science and administrative law issues. While some attorneys focus only on the criminal side of a case involving motor vehicles, David Fischer believes it is also important to coordinate the DMV case with the criminal case to minimize driver’s license issues.

Domestic Violence

David Fischer is a criminal lawyer service Placer County, and the surrounding area, who regularly defends clients accused of committing domestic violence. These cases can cause lifetime consequences. A client often has criminal, restraining order, job, and other issues that are connected to these allegations. As such, a careful approach to defending these cases is required.

White Collar Criminal Defense

The Law Offices of David D. Fischer’s white-collar criminal defense practice has represented clients accused of being involved in various types of misconduct. Some examples include embezzlement, theft, vehicle theft, fraud, credit card fraud, and insurance fraud.

Drug Crimes

David Fischer is a Placer County criminal lawyer with extensive experience handling large drug trafficking cases. Examples include large methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, MDMA, marijuana, and other drug distribution offenses. A significant number of clients have been charged with manufacturing marijuana, money laundering, and structuring of monetary transactions. Common issues involve the government’s use of confidential informants, search warrants, wiretaps, and controlled buys. My office has experience defending clients accused of these types of crimes.

For example, in a 2019 Placer County criminal drug case, the Law Offices of David D. Fischer and the other attorneys representing the co-defendants were able to convince the prosecutor to dismiss the case by carefully reviewing the recordings of the purported drug deal and uncovering the identity of the confidential informant. That led to uncovering other harmful information about the prosecutor’s case, that led to a dismissal.

Firearm Offenses

Many firearms offenses involve the unlawful receipt, possession, and transportation of firearms and assault weapons. Many of these cases involve vehicle stops, confidential informants, and search and seizure issues. My office has experience defending clients accused of firearms offenses, and litigating search and seizure motions related to unlawful firearm possession.

Three Strikes / Violence / Gang / Homicide Offenses

Although many changes have been made to reduce the consequences of many criminal convictions, this category of crimes (three-strikes, violence, gang, homicides) can potentially result in life sentences. A thorough review of the police reports, use of defense investigation and experts, and legal research and writing are critical in defending clients accused of these types of crimes. Our office has been defending clients accused of serious crimes since 2003.

Client Reviews

David had won a trial for me as a public defender years ago. I was so impressed with the way he moved the jury with his words. He was able to impeach almost every statement from my adverse witness....it was literally something out of the movie Lincoln lawyer.
