Practice Areas
The Buelna Law Firm handles two core practice areas: family law and criminal defense.
Family Law
The family law practice covers divorce proceedings, temporary restraining orders, spousal support, child support, child custody and visitation arrangements, prenuptial agreements, and adoption matters. The firm approaches family law with an understanding of the emotional dimensions involved, recognizing that clients face legal proceedings during some of the most difficult periods of their lives.
Criminal Defense
The criminal defense practice covers misdemeanors, DUI cases, traffic matters, felony charges, sex crimes, violent crimes, and federal criminal offenses. The firm handles cases across the full spectrum of criminal severity, from minor misdemeanors to serious federal matters. California criminal proceedings move through arraignment, pre-trial hearings, and potential trial phases, each requiring preparation specific to the charge level and the court where the case is filed. The team background in mental health and social services informs how they understand client circumstances and what motivates behavior that leads to criminal charges, an understanding that can shape defense strategy and support more effective advocacy at sentencing hearings.
