Blackmon & Associates

The subject of this entry no longer exists in Davis or is a former version of something that came afterwards.All information here is for historical reference only.

Blackmon & Associates was a criminal defense firm located in downtown Sacramento. The closed in March 2012. They were located in Sacramento's old Hall of Justice, across the street from the new federal courthouse. The firm's principal, Clyde Blackmon has been practicing for more than 40 years, having graduated from Boalt Hall (UC Berkeley School of Law) in 1964. He has a fairly impressive record of published appellate and state Supreme Court successes.

Blackmon & Associates has received a "top tier" rating for both white collar and non-white collar criminal defense from USNews. This listing will appear in the upcoming "Money" edition of the magazine which should hit news stands in November 2011.

The firm takes on criminal cases and appeals of all sorts in Yolo County, Sacramento County, and beyond. They practice in both state and federal courts. They also take on professional licensing administrative law cases that can arise from criminal matters (usually handled by Jonathan Turner).

To get there, take Business 80/50 east, exit I-5 north, and exit J street. It's about 3 blocks down on your right. Street parking is sparse, so you're better off using the public parking beneath the building. If you enter at 7th Street, just south of J (right next to the 24 Hour Fitness; you can't miss the driveway), the elevator for 660 J is feet away on your right. It's also within 1-3 blocks of the downtown/old town Amtrak station, downtown light rail, and numerous bus lines.
