Attorney

San Mateo, California Criminal Defense Lawyer

I am attorney Philip Barnett. I am a criminal defense sole practitioner with offices in San Mateo, California. I provide sophisticated, aggressive, compassionate representation for those accused of crimes. I began practicing criminal law in southern California as a deputy public defender in 1970 and defended clients in all types of criminal cases, from DUI to murder. I established the law offices of Philip S. Barnett in San Mateo in 1972. I do not have a staff of attorneys because my clients want me to personally handle their cases. I care about my clients and I understand that being a defendant in a criminal case is enormously stressful. I try hard to understand what my clients are going through, to be supportive, and to give them the best representation possible.

Facing criminal charges is a frightening situation. You need the help of an aggressive criminal defense lawyer. Contact my offices in San Mateo for a free consultation about your criminal charges.
