FAQs
What Are Common Felony Charges In La Mirada?
Common felony charges in La Mirada include violent crimes such as homicide, robbery, and assault, in addition to drug offenses, such as possession, sale, manufacturing, and trafficking. Additional felonies can include sex crimes, like rape or child exploitation, white collar crimes, such as fraud and embezzlement, as well as a repeat DUI or DUI with serious injury. Weapons crimes are also felonies, such as the use of a weapon to commit a crime.
What Are The Consequences Of A Felony Conviction?
Consequences of a felony conviction can include time in prison, hefty fines, and a permanent criminal record. Having a criminal record can impact lifelong opportunities, including those related to jobs, housing, and employment. Furthermore, convicted felons may lose fundamental rights, such as their right to bear arms, vote, and obtain professional licenses. A skilled attorney can help you mitigate the consequences of your felony charges.
What Is The Difference Between A Felony And A Misdemeanor Case?
In California, misdemeanors are less serious offenses, typically punishable by fines, probation, or up to one year in county jail. Felonies involve more serious crimes and can lead to state prison sentences. A key distinction is that felony cases usually include a preliminary hearing—a proceeding where a judge decides if enough evidence exists to hold the defendant for trial. Misdemeanors do not have preliminary hearings.
Can My Felony Charge Be Reduced To A Misdemeanor?
It may be possible for your felony charge to be reduced to a misdemeanor, depending on the specific circumstances of your case. An experienced attorney can help reduce your felony through plea negotiations, filing motions, or taking advantage of California’s wobbler law. The wobbler law allows specific felonies to be classified as misdemeanors, depending on the details of the crime.
How Can A Felony Lawyer Defend Me?
A felony lawyer can defend you by launching a deep investigation into your case and challenging illegal search and seizure processes. If any evidence against you was obtained unlawfully, they can ensure it is excluded from your case.
Furthermore, they can call into question the credibility of witnesses, as well as negotiate pleas with the prosecution to reduce your charges or sentence. If the prosecution lacks sufficient evidence, they can work to get your case dismissed.
Can A Felony Be Expunged From My Record?
Yes, a felony can be expunged from your record under specific circumstances, such as if your sentencing did not include time in state prison and if you successfully completed probation. It’s important to note, however, that certain felonies are not eligible for expungement under California law. By working with a detail-oriented attorney, you can understand whether your case may be eligible for expungement or other forms of relief.
