What if I am contacted by police? If you are contacted in any way by police, you need to talk a criminal defense attorney, even if you don't believe you should be arrested. You should invoke your "right to counsel, " which means "I want/have an attorney." After that, you are "lawyered up" and the police may not continue to question you without an attorney present.
In an effort to respond adequately to questions we have received from clients and friends, Latimer and Kenkel has teamed up with the law firm of Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger. Firm partner Mike Kelly is co-lead counsel on the Napa Sonoma fires as well as Dennis Latimer's cousin.

Elizabeth and her team helped me out during a very trying time. They were always very professional and quick to respond to any questions I had. They were also very communicative throughout the whole process of my court affairs. Even now, two years after finalizing everything in court her team still answers any questions I find myself running into. I highly recommend using Elizabeth and her team for any court needs that may arise in your life. You won't regret it at all.

Why this law firm isn't at the top of the list is beyond me. I recently again had the pleasure of dealing with Mr. Latimer and his wonderful daughter Elizabeth. At least I think that's the way it is because Denver also is part of the family business who is an excellent attorney. Awls I know is Elizabeth has basically saved my life again,I have had a few issues in the past with the law that were Kind of tilted in law-enforcement direction. Thanks again Elizabeth Melissa Denver Mr. Latimer you guys are the best God bless you...And just one more thank you to Elizabeth thank you Elizabeth

From the first moment we contacted the office to the successful conclusion of our case, we were treated with compassion and respect. We always felt as though we were their only client, although this was not the case. They had many ongoing cases with many other clients. I'm certain they all felt as though they were the only case.

No one ever thinks that they will need to retain the services of a lawyer. Last year I found myself in that unfortunate position. Friends of mine highly recommend the services of the law offices of Latimer & Kenkel. Lawyer Elizabeth Latimer represented me in court and always knew the best strategic process to get the outcome that was just. She was kind and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend the services of Latimer & Kenkel.
