CRIMINAL LAW

Whether you, a friend, or a loved one are facing misdemeanor charges for anything ranging from drunk driving, to assault and battery, or criminal threats, to the more serious and violent felony cases involving a "strike" under the California "3 Strikes" law, Attorney Blanchard has successfully defended clients charged with all types of criminal offenses including gang murder, attempted murder, rape, sexual abuse of a minor, robbery, kidnapping, car jacking and many other crimes. See the Past Success section for examples of some of these cases.

CIVIL LAW

CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS.  Often when a person is arrested by the police, his or her civil rights are violated.  In situations where a person has been mistreated by the police, suffered injury due to excessive force, or been illegally held in custody, Attorney Blanchard sues the offending Police agency, together with the City or County they work for, to right the wrong done by illegal police misconduct.

PERSONAL INJURY.  While Attorney Blanchard handles mostly plaintiff's personal injury, in other words, the victim, including automobile accidents, slip and falls and product liability cases, he has also successfully defended a number of personal injury cases as well; not cases where he is paid by the insurance company to defend the matter, but where the client has been sued and did not have insurance.  See the Past Success section for examples of some of these cases.

CONTRACT LITIGATION.  Whether you need to have a contract reviewed, are being sued over a breach of contract, or want to sue someone for a breach of contract, attorney Blanchard has successfully represented clients as both plaintiffs and defendants in contract actions.

FAMILY LAW.  While family law is not the main focus of attorney Blanchard's practice, he has represented both husbands and wives in family law matters ranging from delinquent child support, custody battles and property disputes.

GENERAL CIVIL LITIGATION.  Commonly referred to as "door law" (in other words, anything that walks through the door), attorney Blanchard has handled a number of legal actions that do not fall into neatly defined actions but rather fall into multiple categories.  If you have a legal question, and attorney Blanchard can't answer it, he will do his best to refer you to someone who can.
