Personal Injury ∙ Criminal Defense ∙ Military Defense

Being injured or being charged with a crime can be altogether devastating. At the Law Office of Jerrold M. Bodow, in San Diego, California, we are dedicated to aggressively representing the interests of individuals and families dealing with personal injuries and criminal charges. Whether through a settlement, plea bargain, or trial, we work diligently to achieve the best possible result given the unique circumstances of each client's cases.

Personal Injury - Injuries suffered in auto accidents, motorcycle and bicycle accidents, construction accidents, and commercial trucking accidents can have lifelong repercussions. We have represented clients dealing with the aftermath of serious injuries, such as a brain injury or spinal cord injury, as well as families coping with the tragic loss of a loved one in a fatal accident.

Criminal Defense - Criminal charges have the potential to permanently alter a person's life. Attorney Jerrold Bodow has over 30 years of criminal law experience, including four years as a former prosecutor. We have successfully represented many clients facing criminal charges including those involving drugs, sexual offenses, white collar crimes, and domestic violence. We have handled thousands of cases for people charged with drunk driving (DUI/DWI) in court and at the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). In addition, we skillfully defend college students and other underage drinkers who are facing charges for being a minor in possession (MIP) of alcohol or drugs. Our bail bondsmen are available 24 hours a day to get you or your loved ones out of jail.

Military Defense - We represent military personnel charged with all types of military offenses, including those facing courts martial or administrative discharge (admin discharge). We have substantial experience with the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), procedural rules, and courts martial. With many service members returning from war, emotional and psychological defenses are becoming more important. We work with civilian medical personnel who assist in diagnosis and provide testimony on behalf of service members. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an important issue which must be addressed for the many service members returning from Afghanistan, Iraq and other combat zones in these proceedings.

Regardless of the legal issues involved, it is important to speak with a lawyer before discussing the matter with an insurance company representative, the police, or for military members, investigators such as NCIS or your command. Your right to remain silent may be the most important Constitutional right you have during an investigation! Do not speak with any investigator or member of your command about an incident before you speak to us! We can protect your rights. We know how insurance investigators, the police and military investigators phrase questions to elicit the answers they want to hear - answers that could damage your case, even destroy your career, or land you in jail or the brig.
