Firm Information

Overview

The Law Offices of William V. Pernik in Salinas, California, focuses exclusively on helping our clients defend their rights and freedom and protecting their futures. Serving the residents of Monterey and San Benito counties, our criminal defense law firm provides effective defense strategies and aggressive representation to those facing the following charges:

  • DUI/DWI
  • Domestic violence
  • Child abuse or neglect
  • Homicide
  • Violent offenses
  • Sex offenses
  • Drug crimes
  • Property crimes
  • Probation violations

In addition, we also advocate on behalf of veterans and people with mental illness or substance abuse problems who have run afoul of the law. In many cases, individuals who fall into these categories can receive special consideration from the courts because of their status or illness, and we can help these clients take advantage of preferential treatment programs as a way to avoid or lessen the consequences they would otherwise face as a result of a criminal conviction.

Our law firm's founder, William Pernik, is a seasoned trial lawyer with years of experience fiercely advocating for the best interests of our clients. With a compassionate understanding of the emotions our clients face in their difficult situations, Mr. Pernik treats all clients with the respect and dignity they deserve, and uses every tool at his disposal to fight for the most favorable outcome for them in court.

If you need an effective defense following an arrest, you can trust the Law Offices of William V. Pernik to be your much-needed legal ally. Our law firm offers free initial consultations and Spanish-speaking services for the convenience of our clients.

    Recommends this Law firm
    I've been a client of Law Offices of William Pernik for a few years now. I've been seeking legal counsel on many situations, some of which had to do with selling possibly prohibited various goods nationwide, some related to cannabis, and others with best course of action to be taken to avoid legal trouble. His law firm gave me excellent advice every time. While I hope it will never come to this, I rest easy knowing I have access to a knowledgeable attorney in case I get into serious legal trouble.
