Charged with DUI or Driving Offense?
The State of California, as well as Los Angeles County, has some of the strictest laws concerning DUI or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Even for the first arrest, the driver may face jail time, penalties and fines, a suspended driver’s license, and completion of a three-month alcohol program. Driving offenses such as reckless driving or hit and run also carry jail or prison time penalties, on top of fines and increased insurance premiums. In addition, if you’ve left a scene of the accident, although someone was injured, the charge could be elevated to a felony.
Call SLM Law if You’re Charged with a Drug Crime
When it comes to crimes involving possession of drugs, a lot of effort has been made to classify the majority of cases into misdemeanors. But, even if you are not facing criminal charges for a felony, you could be facing charges and include charges for possession for sale, manufacturing of an unlawful narcotic, and drug trafficking. Consequences can be severe and include jail time. That is why it’s essential to consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney.
Are the Charges Theft and Fraud?
Many frauds and theft crimes fall within the area between a misdemeanor and felony and can be charged as either. Whether the prosecution will charge them as misdemeanors or felonies depends on the circumstances of the crime and the defendant’s criminal history.
Have You Been Accused of a Sex Crime?
Being accused of a violent crime can be a frightening experience. Violent crimes, including sexual assault, battery, domestic violence, kidnapping, and other crimes, are serious criminal charges. If you are convicted of a sex crime in Los Angeles, it can carry a punishment of being registered as a sex offender for the rest of your life. It doesn’t matter if you are an adult or a juvenile. Therefore, it is crucial to have a great Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer on your side. Even during divorce proceedings, cases involving mistaken identity or false accusations happen often. If a weapon is used, penalties can be quite severe and can include prison time, fines, and domestic violence or anger management classes.
