Having served the Monterey, California, area as a criminal defense lawyer for more than 40 years, I, James H. Newhouse have represented hundreds of individuals in a wide range of criminal cases.

Regardless of what option we choose, you can count on me for fierce and dedicated defense of your rights and your case.
