California Criminal Defense Attorney
Be Polite and Courteous:
No matter what the crime, whether a DUI, drug offense or some other crime, interact with police officers in a calm, respectful, and appropriate manner. This is always the best approach and will reward you in the end. Officers will note your behavior in their reports. Any belligerent outburst or tirade will likely be used against you and could also earn you additional charges.
Expungements: Burying those Sketetons in your Closet:
An expungement is a dismissal motion which will, under certain circumstances, clear your record so that it is no longer publicly available. California Penal Code Sections 1203.3 and 1203.4 set forth the basic rules for expungements. First, here are some questions that need to be answered:
- Was your past conviction for a misdemeanor or a felony?
- Was probation granted and if so have you successfully completed probation?
- If you are eligible for expungement, what needs to be done?
An experienced Criminal Lawyer can prepare the Expungement if allowable.
If you have been charged with a crime, your best course of action is to have a consultation with an experienced Criminal Attorney. The Attorney can advise you and give you your legal options. Time wasted may signal more problems. Call us today to get the help you deserve!
