Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I'm arrested?
Exercise your right to remain silent, do not consent to searches, ask for an attorney immediately, and do not discuss your case with anyone except your attorney.
What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?
Misdemeanors are less serious crimes typically punishable by up to 1 year in county jail. Felonies are more serious and can result in state prison sentences of more than 1 year.
Can a criminal record be expunged in California?
California allows expungement of many criminal convictions after completing probation, including felonies in some cases. An attorney can advise whether you qualify.
What happens at an arraignment?
At your arraignment, you'll be formally charged and asked to enter a plea of guilty, not guilty, or no contest. You should have an attorney present.
