of the evidence.
We are very experienced in handing cases in the Mojave Court. 
Over the past decade our firm has successfully defended persons 
charged with crimes in the Mojave Superior Court.  The Court is 
part of the east Kern County Branch Court and serves the cities of 
China Lake Naval Station Mojave, Edwards Air Force Base, 
California City, Boron, Rosamond, Tehachapi, the Mojave Desert, 
Lake Isabella, Kernville, Ridgecrest and Cantil.  The Mojave Court 
is comprised of two Courtrooms and is presided over by one 
supervising Judge and two Court Commissioners.  Many of the 
cases before the Court are from CHP vehicle stops on Highway 58 
or the 14 and involve persons simply "passing through" on their way 
to Las Vegas, Lancaster, Bakersfield, Ridgecrest or other parts of 
the Country.

We also handle arrests by the Kern County Sheriffs Department in 
one of the National Parks or on Edwards AFB.  In one recent case 
Matt represented a client arrested for DUI while on her way to Las 
Vegas.  She lived in Arizona and couldn't travel to Court so Matt 
appeared for her and was able to negotiate a reduction of th 
charges that didn't require California DUI classes and she never 
had to return to Court.  Its cases like this that we have been doing 
for over two decades.
