Former Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney
As a former deputy district attorney, Mr. Moreno dealt every day with the problems of proof that make up the bulk of a prosecutor's work. Because the government has the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt every fact essential to a conviction of any given criminal charge, he quickly learned the difference between a strong case, a weak case, and one that could go either way. Today, he uses this experience and knowledge of the criminal justice system and law enforcement to provide highly skilled defense for his clients. He can spot the weaknesses in the government's case and turn them into an opportunity to resolve a case on favorable terms.
Whenever necessary, Hector Moreno Jr.'s formidable trial skills can make the decisive difference if a satisfactory compromise of the charges cannot be reached through negotiation with the government. His 20 years of criminal trial experience can help assure an effective presentation of your strongest defense before a jury.
