Frequently Asked Questions
Exercise your right to remain silent and your right to an attorney — immediately and clearly. Do not answer questions, consent to searches, or make statements without counsel present. The moments after an arrest are critical. Call us as soon as you are able; early intervention can significantly affect the outcome of your case.
Misdemeanors are less serious offenses generally punishable by up to one year in county jail. Felonies carry potential state prison sentences of more than one year and can result in the loss of voting rights, firearm rights, and professional licenses. Some offenses are 'wobblers' that can be charged as either — how they are charged and resolved matters enormously.
Many California convictions can be expunged under Penal Code 1203.4, allowing you to withdraw your guilty plea and have the case dismissed. Expungement can improve employment prospects and housing opportunities. Eligibility depends on the offense, sentence received, and whether probation was completed. We can evaluate your record and pursue every available avenue for relief.
Absolutely. Even if you intend to plead guilty, an experienced defense attorney can negotiate reduced charges, lesser sentences, diversion programs, or alternative sentencing that avoids jail time. Pleading guilty without counsel often means accepting consequences far worse than necessary — and waiving rights you may not even know you have.
