Eric Zentz ESQ

Child Support
Threatening an ex-spouse that you will make a false accusation of domestic violence against them unless they agree to larger child support or alimony payments.
Child Custody and Visitation
Beyond the typical legal penalties that will follow a domestic violence conviction, an individual who has been tried and convicted of domestic violence could face a wide range of additional consequences that affect their personal and professional life. If they have children, or if they committed any type of domestic violence against their children or someone else’s children, it is very likely that they will lose any custody or visitation rights they may have had, and they will likely be barred from holding any type of employment that involves working with children.
Spousal Support

Criminal Defense
Zentz & Zentz can provide the criminal defense representation you need in a San Diego weapons case. Our firm believes in providing aggressive, client-focused defense representation in every case we accept, and we have years of experience interpreting California gun laws to assist our clients’ cases.
DUI/DWI
It is against California's law to operate a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol, illegal drugs or prescription medications. The offense is referred to as driving under the influence (DUI). You may be required to submit to a blood-alcohol test to determine the amount of alcohol in your body if you are stopped by a police officer while operating a vehicle. If the test shows impairment, you may be arrested and charged with DUI.
Wrongful Death
In the event you have a loved one die in the accident, you can also make a wrongful death claim. Wrongful death is when a person causes the death of another person due to negligence. Typically, you can bring a wrongful death claim if you are the spouse of the person who died. In some cases, children, parents and siblings of the deceased may be able to bring a claim.
Traffic Violations
Speeding. It is dangerous for drivers to exceed posted speed limits. A speeding driver has less time and space to react to sudden changes in traffic conditions.
Sex Crimes
In the event a defendant is convicted of any form of domestic violence of a sexual nature, such as sexual assault or sexual battery against a family or household member, they will also likely face mandatory registration as a sex offender. Sex offender status usually lasts for several years or permanently, depending on the severity of the offense. Registration as a sex offender can prevent the individual from living in certain areas, working in some industries, and interacting with children.
Fraud
Committing mail fraud, which includes any fraudulent activity conducted through the postal service. This can include stealing personal documents from another person’s mailbox or intercepting packages.
Robbery
Robbery is taking someone else's property by force or fear. It is a violent crime and can be a felony of the first or second degree. The prosecutor must show that you took someone else's property from their immediate possession without their permission while using force or fear to prevent the person from stopping you. The elements here include...
Burglary
A San Diego burglary attorney is your best choice in putting forth a solid case in court. Your lawyer can assist you with understanding the charges and figuring out the best way to defend against them. You may also need your defense attorney to assist you with possible issues that could result from the three strikes law.
White Collar Crimes
The majority of public defenders are capable, hardworking, and dedicated to defending their clients to the best of their abilities. However, the nature of their work demands that they manage multiple cases at a time, meaning they cannot provide much in the way of personal attention to any given case. A private San Diego white collar crimes attorney can offer far more comprehensive legal counsel. The attorneys at Zentz & Zentz are careful to maintain a balanced caseload, ensuring we can provide each client we represent with the full extent of our resources, experience, and professional attention.
Theft
Misdemeanors
Theft offenses can be misdemeanors or felonies. You may hear people refer to theft as larceny. Both terms mean that you intentionally took the property of another person without that person's permission.
Embezzlement
If you have been arrested and charged with embezzlement, your case is likely to involve complex financial questions and touch on various state and government regulations. Depending on the nature of the embezzlement in question, you may face penalties imposed by various government agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), or others. You need defense counsel you can trust if you are facing embezzlement charges. A San Diego embezzlement attorney could be your best asset in this difficult situation.
Drug Crimes
Drug possession and drug trafficking are among the most common criminal charges in California. It is estimated that nearly 70% of people imprisoned in the state are convicted of a drug-related charge. Not only are San Diego drug laws strict, navigating the complex legal system once you've been arrested can also be a challenge. Whether you have been arrested for possession of a controlled substance or accused of a federal drug trafficking offense, you need to hire an experienced San Diego defense attorney.
Assault
Have you recently been charged with assault and battery in the San Diego area? If so, it is crucial to contact an experienced attorney for legal representation. When you are charged with assault and battery, a lawyer can help you in the earliest stages of your defense to ensure you have the best possible outcome.
Probation Violation
• Related violations. Driving under the influence of drugs, weapons charges, probation violations, reckless endangerment, and illegal drug use in the presence of children are all aggravating factors that will work against a defendant in a drug case.
Identity Theft
Specifically, everyone’s personal information is potentially subject to misappropriation whenever personal details are entered anywhere online. “Identity theft” is a term used to describe the misappropriation of another person’s credentials to steal from them digitally or impersonate them for personal gain. The federal government takes identity theft very seriously, and identity theft crimes are prosecuted in federal court.
Homicide
“White collar crime” is commonly misunderstood throughout the United States. Many people assume that because this term pertains to nonviolent crimes of a financial nature, white collar crimes are not as serious as offenses such as homicide and armed robbery or that prosecutors do not pursue these crimes as aggressively as violent crimes. While it is true that white collar crime is generally nonviolent in nature, some white collar crime offenses have disastrous consequences on many innocent people, often involving the financial ruin of others for the offender’s personal gain. However, many white collar crime operations are highly complicated and involve many moving parts and participants. Unfortunately, it’s common for people who work for certain powerful individuals and organizations to be unwittingly involved in white collar crimes, only to later discover they’re facing criminal charges. White collar crime cases are some of the most complex criminal cases filed in California, and it is also possible for these cases to unfold in federal court. White collar crime takes many forms, and it can be incredibly difficult for a defendant to determine their best available defenses in any given case. The right attorney can make a significant difference in the outcome of a white collar crime case, potentially helping their client reduce or avoid severe penalties. If you have been charged with any type of white collar crime, a San Diego white collar crimes lawyer could be your best asset in fighting this charge. Zentz & Zentz is a full-service criminal defense firm with years of experience handling a wide range of criminal cases in the San Diego, CA area. If you have been charged with any financial crimes, it is essential to secure legal counsel as soon as possible. These cases often involve complex financial and mathematical matters, and many white collar crime cases involve multiple defendants. We can provide the criminal defense representation you need in this challenging situation.
Shoplifting
Shoplifting. Stealing merchandise from a store valued up to $950, and being convicted could result in six months in county jail and a fine of up to $1,000, even for a first offense in San Diego. The punishment may also include up to three years of probation. One of the long-term repercussions that teenage shoplifters find with having this charge on their record is the inability to attend the college they wish to go to.
Restraining Order
Domestic violence is a serious issue that affects thousands of families throughout California each year. In San Diego County alone, almost 18,000 domestic violence occurrences are reported to police annually. Everyone should have the right to feel safe in their own home, and everyone experiencing abuse has the right to report it to law enforcement. However, domestic violence is a complex issue for everyone involved, and there are incidents of individuals being arrested or convicted without cause, sufficient evidence or due process. If you have been served with a San Diego restraining order, contact an experienced defense attorney who will help you ensure that your legal rights are protected.
Forgery
Prescription drug forgery is a felony charge. To be found guilty of this offense, the prosecution must prove that you did indeed forge a doctor’s signature on the prescription. Therefore, if you are accused of this charge, it is essential to understand all possible outcomes and how a lawyer can help.
Money Laundering
Money laundering. This offense is typically the meeting place between street crime and white collar crime. The term “money laundering” refers to “washing” money gained through criminal activities through a legitimate business. A criminal organization may partner with a legitimate business, typically a cash-centric one, and place funds from drug sales, human trafficking, sex trafficking, and other criminal enterprises into the business, intermingling it with the business’s legitimate profits. The business owner then produces bogus transactions or otherwise obfuscates the ill-gotten funds to disguise them as business proceeds. Typically, the final stage of any money laundering organization is a means for the criminal participants to extract their funds from the business in an apparently legitimate fashion.
Manslaughter
If the at-fault driver killed another driver or a passenger of another vehicle after a hit-and-run, they could face vehicular manslaughter charges. When an accident occurs, and an at-fault driver unintentionally kills another driver or passenger, they can face a charge of involuntary manslaughter. This indicates they caused death through negligence rather than lethal intent. However, suppose an at-fault driver causes an accident, knows they are responsible for causing it, and attempts to flee the scene. In that case, they may face voluntary manslaughter charges for their failure to take responsibility for their actions at the scene of the accident.
Extortion
The attorneys at Zentz & Zentz comprise a team of experienced San Diego extortion lawyers who can provide the defense representation you need in a challenging extortion case. Our team has years of professional experience handling extortion cases, helping our clients minimize their penalties or prove their innocence when they have been wrongfully accused. Whatever your unique extortion case entails, we can provide the detail-oriented defense representation you need to navigate it successfully.
Hit and Run
If you have an accident, regardless of whether you believe you are at fault for causing it, it is always best to err on the side of caution and notify the police about the incident. Doing so creates an official police report. You may need to refer to this report in the future if you intend to seek compensation for any losses that occurred or if the other driver accuses you of causing the accident. If you cause an accident and do not report it as California law requires, you could face criminal prosecution for hit-and-run and substantial penalties.

Premises Liability
Premises liability is the responsibility of the property owner. One of the most common premises liability claims is for slip and falls. This also includes trips and other situations that could lead to a fall.
Property Damage
Every driver in California has legal responsibilities that come into play after an accident. California state law requires all drivers to call the police to notify them of any accident that results in injuries, death, or substantial property damage.

Personal Injury
Personal injury cases involving motorcycles rely on the ability to prove negligence on the part of the other driver or other parties. It is a good idea to seek legal help immediately because making your case requires developing a solid strategy to pursue your injury claim. At Zentz & Zentz, we are the San Diego motorcycle accident lawyers you need to get the compensation you deserve.
Medical Malpractice
Beyond economic damages, California state law also allows personal injury plaintiffs to recover compensation for their pain and suffering. Their San Diego personal injury attorney will help them determine a fair amount to include with their claim, based on the severity of the plaintiff’s injury and the likelihood of them experiencing permanent medical complications from their experience. California does not limit pain and suffering compensation in personal injury claims aside from medical malpractice claims, in which plaintiffs can only obtain up to $250,000 in pain and suffering compensation.
Auto Accidents
Dog Bites
Dog bites. California enforces strict liability for dog owners whose pets injure others. If someone else’s dog bit or otherwise injured you, the owner is responsible for your damages.
Slip and Fall Injury
Your San Diego premises liability attorney will need to build a case that will show the court who is liable for your slip and fall injuries and why. The court will consider many factors surrounding the property.
