The Experience, compassion, and dedication it takes to Win.

William H. Du Bois is Oakland's foremost criminal trial lawyer. Practicing criminal law since 1970, Mr. Du Bois spent six years as a prosecuting attorney, and now over 27 years as a criminal defense lawyer. All of these years have been in Oakland and the San Francisco Bay Area. Mr. Du Bois knows the prosecutors (and their tactics), the judges, and the minds of the potential jurors. Knowing the opposition gives him the edge. He also knows the law.

William Du Bois has built a reputation as a serious, aggressive criminal defense attorney who fights to win. He has had three murder convictions overturned on appeal and one murder acquitted in the past four years. Where others see defeat, he sees the opportunity to defend.
