Law Firm Overview

Chico Criminal Defense and Family Law Attorneys

At the Rooney Law Firm, we understand that choosing a lawyer is not an easy task. Whether you are involved in a family law matter or a criminal defense case, your choice of attorney may make a huge difference in the results you obtain. We want you to know that we have what it takes to do what is right for you.

Here are the top 10 reasons you should choose us to stand by your side:

One: 95 percent success rate in contested trials.

Two: More than 30 years of experience serving people throughout California.

Three: Listed in the National Register’s Who’s Who in Executives and Professionals, an honor achieved by only a very small percentage of attorneys.

Four: We believe in doing it right the first time. All of our lawyers passed the bar examination on their first try. In important family law and criminal defense cases, you do not get second chances.

Five: We have a record for success. Our lead attorney compiled the Best Attorney Jury Trial Record in Amador County, California, in 2000.

Six: Our success is acknowledged by the legal community. Attorney Rooney was awarded Criminal Defense Attorney of the Year by the Chico News and Review four years in a row: 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Seven: We do not believe in losing. Right out of the gates, during his first year as a criminal defense attorney, Mr. Rooney had every single criminal case dismissed before trial.

Eight: We get results. Recently, we have had cases dismissed that involve DUI/DWI, drug charges, domestic violence, robbery and more. Our law firm makes similarly short work of challenging family law and divorce cases.

Nine: We are entrusted with important matters because we know how to handle them. In past positions, our lead attorney has been in charge of important asset forfeiture programs, has served as chief public defender in challenging meth lab cases, and has successfully made criminal sentencing recommendations to superior courts throughout California.

Ten: Our experience counts. Our lead lawyer has served in important positions ranging from chief public defender to chief probation officer. He responded to all felony motion matters has district attorney staff experience.
