It is terrifying to be the subject of a criminal investigation, or worse yet, a criminal prosecution. The State is represented  by law enforcement officers and prosecutors with a tremendous amount of resources, discretion and power to limit a persons liberty temporarily or permanently. This is more true if an individual has a criminal record that allows prosecutors to charge an enhancement under the three strikes law. It is possible to challenge the State with vigorous representation by a committed attorney on your side.

As a former prosecutor with over nine years of experience prosecuting every variety of misdemeanors and felonies, Jennifer Moncrieff is well aware of the manner in which law enforcement officers investigate crimes and prosecutors charge, plea bargain and prosecute cases. As a criminal defense attorney, Jennifer Moncrieff is committed to representing and protecting the rights of indivuals accused of criminal misconduct.
