Attorney Tammy Higgins founded this firm after 16 years as a public defender in San Bernardino County, finishing her time in the Homicide Defense Unit, where she handled capital cases. She has taken more than 100 cases to a jury verdict and is death penalty qualified in California. Eighteen years of criminal law experience give her a clear picture of how prosecutors build their arguments, where the weaknesses in the evidence tend to appear, and how to use that knowledge to fight back on your behalf.

We review the facts of your case carefully and give you a clear, direct read on where things stand.

We do not overpromise. We work through the case with you and keep you informed at every stage.
Kendall Hills is a neighborhood in San Bernardino, California, known for its hillside residential character within the broader San Bernardino community. Residents here fall under San Bernardino County jurisdiction, with criminal matters heard at the San Bernardino Superior Court. A conviction in that courthouse can follow someone for years, affecting employment prospects, housing applications, and professional licensing. Getting the right legal representation early can limit those long-term consequences and give your case the best possible chance at a favorable result.
