Our Approach
You work with us directly,
at a reasonable fee.
I defend DUIs, all misdemeanors, and most felonies in every Northern California court — and every case gets the same approach: focus on the best possible outcome, and fight to keep the powerful criminal justice system in check.
In most cases, you won't have to attend court. Your case is handled by one of our attorneys — unless we go to trial, your attorney appears in court for you, and your employer won't miss you at work.
We'll explain the law and the system in plain English, and be at your side each step of the way. Your case is important, so act today — we'll take the time to understand your situation and help you through this difficult time.
What That Means for You
Four promises,
kept for 25 years.
You won't miss work
Unless your case goes to trial, your attorney appears in court for you. Your employer never has to know.
The attorney, not a case manager
Your case is handled by one of our attorneys — the criminal matter, the DMV hearing, every step.
Built to keep you out of jail
Most clients come to us for a well-earned reputation: fighting to keep clients out of jail.
Straight answers, honest fees

Both offices.
The Law Offices of Christopher Parkhurst exceeded my expectations. Attorney Kit Parkhurst was extremely responsive and professional from the very beginning. I contacted his office on behalf of a family member, and he responded within seconds to offer a free consultation. Remarkably, he was able to resolve the case the very same day.
All communication was handled efficiently by phone and email, and we did not even need to appear in court. He later called to confirm that the case was resolved and all charges had been dropped.
Attorney Parkhurst is highly knowledgeable, professional, friendly, compassionate, and honest. His pricing was also very affordable. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of legal representation.
Rob Ward and Aaron Weaver did an excellent job helping me with a driving-related case. From the beginning they were very responsive, professional, and made sure I understood every step of the process. Their experience and strategy made a huge difference and they were able to negotiate a significantly better outcome than what I was originally facing. I’m very grateful for their help and would highly recommend them!
Kit was amazing to work with. He really went above and beyond for our family and stayed on top of everything. He was super responsive, easy to talk to, and just genuinely kind. We felt supported the whole time and are really thankful we had him on our side.
I can’t recommend Kit enough. He is a true blessing. Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. He handled everything with confidence and kept us at ease the entire time. The results exceeded our expectations, and we’re very thankful for his dedication to our family.
On Saturday April 3, 2026 I was arrested for a domestic violence charge and given my first court appearance on April 7, 2026
Due to the weekend and Easter I was unable to get help from an attorney. When I called and found Kit on Monday April 6, 2026, he immediately picked up the phone and assured me I was in good hands and could help.
Kit could hear my stress level and told me several times everything would be fine. Kit then explained his plan of action and on April 7, 2026 at 1100 hours Kit called me stating he spoke to the DA and the charges would not be filed.
If it wasn't for Kit's approach, knowledge and claming personality not sure what my outcome would of been.
I hope no ever gets fasley arrested, but if you do, do not hesitate to call Kit and let him work for you.
Lastly I just want thank God for bringing this talented, non-judgemental Attorney into my life when I needed someone to help.
Showing love from Huntington Beach! Thank you Kit and Aaron! These guys got me out of a jam and I highly recommend! I didn’t have to drive hours to resolve! Thank you again Aaron!! Best of luck on all your cases!
If you want to work with an experienced attorney that has integrity, is honest, and genuinely cares about his clients look no further than Aaron and his wonderful team.
I couldn’t be more impressed with the outstanding service provided by my attorney. From the very first consultation, they were professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in my case. They took the time to explain every detail clearly, answered all of my questions, and guided me through each step with confidence and expertise.
Their communication was exceptional, offered consistent updates, quick responses, and a reassuring presence throughout the entire process. It was clear they truly cared about achieving the best possible outcome, and their hard work absolutely paid off.
Thanks to their dedication and skill, what could have been a stressful situation was handled smoothly and efficiently. I highly recommend Aaron to anyone seeking knowledgeable, trustworthy, and compassionate legal representation.
I found myself in a situation where I was facing charges.
The morning after Christmas I had arraignment and was petrified of what was about to happen.
I called several Law offices, Chris picked up and quickly gave me a huge feeling of relief.
He knew what was happening in the back scenes and explained how we should go about figuring it out.
He made one phone call and informed me my case was dropped.
I truly can't thank him enough!
What a great guy, I would recommend him to anyone.
I wanted to post on all channels, it's beyond real and deserved.
Seriously Chris you went out of your way to help me and I appreciate it so much! Ill never forget it.
If you’re looking for a lawyer that is hardworking, skilled, family oriented and exceeds all expectations you have come to the right place. Chris Parkhurst showed up for me and my family and kept us updated the whole way. He’s gone above and beyond for me and if you’re hoping to have the best possible outcome for you then I’d recommend them 100%.
BEST LAW FIRM EVER!!!!!! I was so blessed they took my case and they were extremely helpful. I was dealt a bad hand and this law firm got my 3 counts dismissed. 1 second im probably going away for a long time and the next everything was dropped. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm and would recommend them to any in need of a fantastic law firm. Thank you for everything you've done for my family and I
Chris is amazing. I was looking at time in jail and this man got me off with probation. I owe him a lot. There isn’t enough I can say what he’s done for me and my family. I think him from the bottom of my heart. If u need a attorney this who I would recommend
The law isn’t always on your side. As a veteran that can be frustrating and disheartening. Kit and the team really go to bat for you and I can’t thank them enough. If you find yourself needing legal representation put your trust in their hands to do everything they possibly can to help you cause they will. Thank you
