Aggressive Advocacy & Compassionate Counsel When You Need It Most
Facing criminal charges can be one of the most challenging times of your life, both for you and your family.

At Brownstein Law Group, you get both—a trial-tested, seasoned litigator and an attorney who can provide the guidance you need to protect your future and put your charges behind you.
We believe the best legal representation results from building a truly personal relationship. The outcome of your case could have ramifications that extend far beyond whatever penalties you face, so we get to know you and how your charges could impact your daily life as well as your future.

We know your case is ultimately about your life; we never forget it.
Our success is the direct result of our tireless and thorough approach to every case we handle, whether it involves misdemeanor or felony charges.
We conduct an exhaustive investigation of the incident that led to your charges, carefully examining the facts and leaving no stone unturned to find the evidence you need to build a strong defense. We work with you side-by-side to develop an effective legal strategy, providing the information you need to make informed decisions about your case.
We don’t accept the first plea offer to move on to the next case. We’re tough when we need to be well-respected by both prosecutors and fellow defense lawyers. When you hire Brownstein Law Group, you can rely on us to get your desired results.

HELPING THE ACCUSED AND THE INJURED
Criminal Defense & Personal Injury Representation
Criminal Defense
Criminal defense is our primary practice area. We are able to handle whatever charges you are facing, from misdemeanors to felonies. Contact Marin County criminal defense lawyer Josh Brownstein if you have been charged with a criminal offense.
The consequences of a DUI conviction can be severe, even if this is your first offense. DUI cases are prosecuted aggressively, and there will be no leniency if you cooperate. Do not plead guilty until you have spoken with a Marin County criminal defense lawyer.
A conviction for assault and battery can have serious consequences. The penalties you face can vary widely depending on the circumstances of your case. And because it is considered a violent offense, a conviction could follow you for long after you have served your time.
The things you say in anger or frustration can lead to criminal charges. Do not let a momentary lapse of judgment lead to a criminal record. Contact a criminal defense lawyer in Marin County before it’s too late.
Facing a domestic violence charge can be overwhelming. If you want to protect your reputation and freedom, your only option is to fight.
Many domestic violence charges can also involve a charge for false imprisonment, based on a very biased version of the events that occurred before the police arrived.
Whether the other party is seeking a restraining order or claiming you violated an existing one, you need to take action to protect yourself. Brownstein Law Group will fight to protect your freedom.
Cases involving drug charges are complex, and a conviction can carry serious consequences. A Marin County criminal defense lawyer can help you get a fair result.
Whether you have been charged with shoplifting or grand theft, you could be facing considerable fines and imprisonment. Do not plead guilty without first discussing your options with a Marin County criminal defense lawyer.
Robbery is the crime of theft while using force or fear. It is considered a violent offense, and the consequences of a conviction can change your life forever. We recommend contacting a lawyer as soon as possible if you have been charged with robbery.
Burglary is the act of entering a building with the intent to commit a felony. As a result, you can be charged with burglary even if you did nothing wrong and someone believed you were there without permission.
Any type of weapons or gun charges are severe offenses and are prosecuted aggressively. Do not face these charges alone.
A conviction for a sex crime can destroy your life. In addition to possible imprisonment, you will have to register as a sex offender, which can limit where you live and where you work. Brownstein Law Group can help you get a fair result.
Certain offenses can be wiped from your record as if they never happened. You are not required to have a lawyer to get your conviction expunged, but the process can be more challenging than people expect.
Personal Injury
Brownstein Law Group also helps people who have been seriously injured as a result of someone else’s negligence. We can help you get the compensation you need to put your life back together.
Dog owners have a legal responsibility to keep their dogs under control. They can be held liable when their dogs cause injury to another person.
Property owners have a legal duty to ensure their property is safe for guests and visitors. If you have been injured on someone else’s property, contact us today to discuss your case.
A motor vehicle accident can result in life-changing injuries. We can help you get the compensation you need to cover your medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses.
