Law Offices of Patrick Cannon
Patrick G Cannon                             Attorney at Law
I am an experienced trial attorney having worked more than sixteen years in
the Contra Costa County Public Defenders Office.  During that time, I have
supervised the investigators, misdemeanor trial attorneys, juvenile dependency
and delinquency staff attorneys for the main office.  I have tried more than one
hundred jury trials before the superior court.  I have represented at trial clients
accused of murder, assault, domestic violence, drug, property crimes and
juvenile delinquency allegations to just list a few of my experiences.  I
understand the stress and emotional impact of having someone close to you
being accused of a criminal offense in our courts.  I am prepared to work hard
to secure the results your case deserves.  I will work  for you and your loved
one to ensure justice is achieved.
If you or someone close to you is faced with the unfortunate
situation of standing accused of criminal charges, you need
the best in legal representation.  The stress and
consequences of any criminal record require your decision
in how to proceed in the courtroom to be the right one.  You
and your family need someone you can trust, someone who
will be there to guide you through this difficult time to
ensure the best possible outcome.
