Doug Van Breemen

If you have been arrested or charged with a crime, I can help you by fighting these charges for you.

I was a 20-year prosecutor in Placer County, which makes me perfectly suited to handle your case.

My family and I have been in the area for 24 years. I like rescue animals, fishing and football.
