Types of Cases We Handle

At the Law Office of Joshua R. Bourne, we have developed a reputation as a renowned San Diego DUI defense and domestic violence defense firm. However, we also handle a wide range of other serious criminal cases on behalf of our clients, including:

Regardless of the nature of the allegations against you, it doesn’t change the fact that you are innocent until proven guilty.

We can help you identify the defenses that may apply to your case, and we will work with you to develop a comprehensive strategy designed to minimize your exposure and, ultimately, prevent the prosecution from securing a conviction.

About Joshua Bourne

Joshua R. Bourne is a dedicated San Diego criminal defense attorney who has more than two decades of experience advocating on behalf of the criminally accused. After graduating from law school, Mr. Bourne worked as a Deputy City Attorney in San Diego, prosecuting cases that arose within San Diego proper on behalf of the government.

After leaving the City Attorney’s office, Mr. Bourne spent a short time with a large civil law firm, where he honed his negotiation and litigation skills. Once Mr. Bourne was confident he had acquired the understanding and skills needed to open up his own firm, he established the Law Office of Joshua R. Bourne.

Since the firm’s founding in 2006, the Law Office of Joshua R. Bourne has earned a reputation in the San Diego legal community for defending complex DUI cases as well as those involving high-stakes allegations of domestic violence, including many cases that alleged enhancements under the California Three Strikes Law.

In addition to handling cases on behalf of the firm, Mr. Bourne also successfully obtained a special certification from San Diego County, allowing the court to appoint him as conflict counsel for indigent defendants who could not afford an attorney. Mr. Bourne also acquired the necessary certification from San Diego County to handle juvenile delinquent and dependency matters.
