With over 15 years of experience working at the District Attorney’s Office, I know what it takes to navigate the criminal justice system.
By informing the youth and the general public about alternatives to a life of crime, I strive to improve the community in any way I can.
After playing football at UC Berkeley and graduating with a B.A. in political science, I decided to enter into the legal profession and dedicate my life toward protecting the rights of the criminally accused in my community and abroad

The most important thing you can do for yourself when you’ve been charged with a serious crime is to stay calm and cooperate with law enforcement. Any actions to the contrary can only hurt your case.
This step can be crucial to the outcome of your case. You are not required to answer any questions about the investigation without a lawyer present. As they say on T.V. — anything you say can and will be held against you in court.
When you’re in need of trusted legal advice, call me. I can help ensure that your rights are protected every step of the way. I’ll do all that I can to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
I highly recommend this attorney. He's a fighter for his clients, and he's highly dedicated, competent, and knows and understands the law. If you need an EXCELLENT lawyer, look no further.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned throughout the years, it’s how devastating a criminal conviction can be on a person’s life. Whether you’re facing a DUI, drug possession charge, or something more substantial like murder or sexual assault, a guilty verdict can have lifelong consequences.
That’s why it’s important to have an experienced criminal defense attorney who actually cares about your well-being. For over a decade, I’ve been working with individuals throughout Oakland and Alameda County to provide them with strong representation against whatever criminal charges they may be facing.
So what is the Stallworth difference? It’s providing top-quality criminal defense services that can be individually tailored to the circumstances of your case. It’s about treating every single client with the respect and dignity that they deserve, regardless of the charges they’re facing.
I take this approach because I want all of my clients to feel comfortable and confident with their case in my hands. I realize how much is at stake with your case, and I’m committed to doing everything I can to help you arrive at a positive outcome. With me on your side, you can count on an aggressive defense and experienced legal counsel every step of the way.
When you have a previous criminal conviction expunged, it’s permanently hidden from your permanent record. This process is referred to as “dismissal” in California. This means that when someone performs a criminal background check on you (for example, for employment or housing), they will not see the conviction and it’s as if it never occurred.
Bail is a dollar amount you must post or guarantee to ensure that you return for your court date. O.R. lets you out of custody without posting any bail but often places restrictions on you to ensure you’ll be around to show up for your court date. Being accused of a capital offense and some serious felonies do not allow for bail or O.R.
