Solano County Criminal Defense Law Firm Overview

Newman & Oldwin Criminal Defense Lawyers Fighting for the rights of the accused for over 20 years

Newman & Oldwin have been fighting for the rights of the accused in Vallejo, Vacaville, Fairfield, Dixon, Benicia and Solano County since 1988.  Over the last 20 years, we have represented clients charged with a range of criminal offenses—from petty theft to complex cases of homicide|murder. We have handled criminal defense including prisoner's rights cases, writs for relief from wrongful detention, and criminal appeals. We are motivated to help those in need, especially victims of abuse of governmental authority.

Philosophy of legal representation

Newman & Oldwin practice criminal law with compassion and integrity.  We guarantee that you will always meet with an attorney—not a legal secretary or a paralegal—at every critical stage of the legal proceedings. Newman & Oldwin are dedicated to communicating frequently and openly with their clients. We encourage our clients to gain an understanding of the charges they face, the possible punishments, and the criminal justice process.  It is our philosophy to consider any information provided by our client and to seek our client's participation in the criminal proceedings.

The importance of pretrial investigation

Unlike many other firms, our criminal defense law firm has a licensed investigative team on premises. The in-house investigative team focuses on pretrial discovery, witness interviews, fact investigation, and case evaluation. The team of in-house investigative professionals assists us in gathering facts to develop the strongest possible criminal defense for you.  We do not rely on police investigations.  When you retain Newman & Oldwin, you have a team of criminal defense attorneys and investigators on your side that makes sure no fact or circumstance supporting a viable defense is overlooked.

Office Hours|Emergency assistance

Newman & Oldwin employ a legal secretary and a legal assistant to help coordinate our caseloads.  Our office hours are Monday thru Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  We are available on an emergency basis.  The firm offers a free initial consultation.
