Child Abuse
If you are under investigation for a sexual offense such as molestation, sexual child abuse, lewd act with a child or any other form of sex crime, it is important that you understand your rights. There are often cases of mistaken identity involved with arrests for sexual crimes and sometimes the accuser could be mistaken or lying. Sometimes, a third party such as a parent or relative could be coaching the accuser into reporting a sexual act that never occurred, or the contact was accidental. False accusations and wrongful charges are, unfortunately, often reported.

Criminal Defense
California has some of the toughest laws regarding stalking in the nation and those found guilty could face considerable jail time and fines. You will need a vigorous defense if you have been accused of stalking, and our Murrieta criminal defense attorney fights hard on your behalf because your future is worth defending.
DUI/DWI
California has been a front runner in the fight against impaired driving. Although most states throughout the nation have increased their efforts to up the arrests and convictions of those who drive under the influence ( DUI ) of drugs or alcohol, few can boast the extreme measures California law enforcement agencies have taken. With some of the harshest criminal penalties in the nation and little room for leniency, California courts are places no DUI defendant should brave alone.
Traffic Violations
When law enforcement pulls you over, they must have good reason to do so. You are protected from being stopped without probable cause, under the U.S. Constitution. You also cannot be stopped due to any type of racial profiling. You must have committed a driving offense, or be operating your vehicle in a manner that indicates intoxication, such as weaving, wrong way driving, speeding or other conduct.
Sex Crimes
An adult charged with a sex crime with a minor under 10 years of age has the potential to face severe, life altering punishments. The accused could face felony charges, long prison sentences and be required to register as a sex offender. In California, Penal Code section 288 defines any of the following acts as a sex crime...
Fraud
Government fraud involves some deceptive practice in order to obtain government services (e.g. welfare fraud) or the falsification of tax returns to minimize how much money is owed to the government. Insurance fraud, such as reporting injuries that were not present after an accident in order to gain insurance relief, can be considered consumer fraud. Employee fraud is when an individual defrauds their workplace or employer, such as embezzling money or giving fake employee record documents.
Robbery
If you are charged with robbery, you could be facing anywhere from two to nine years in prison, extensive fines, and other consequences. Though it can be challenging to defend robbery charges, you can be confident that the Murrieta robbery crime lawyer, Nic Cocis, is prepared to stand up for your rights.
Burglary
Under the California Penal Code 459, burglary is defined as entering into any sort of structure, room or locked vehicle with the purpose of committing either a theft or any felony. It is sometimes more commonly referred to as "breaking and entering." Burglary can take many different forms, whether it involves someone intentionally stealing a purse from a retail store or taking an item from someone's home, the penalties can be severe across the board. For those facing burglary accusations, it is a good idea to obtain the best possible Murrieta burglary crime lawyer available to you.
White Collar Crimes
California Penal Code 186.11 states that any white collar crime, such as fraud, can be enhanced to an "aggravated white collar crime", which may make the sentencing you are facing much harsher. If you are being charged with fraud you could face jail time, fines, restitution to the victim or accusing parties and community service time.
Theft
Misdemeanors
If you were accused of violating any laws relating to the possession of a firearm, you need to find immediate legal counsel to assist with your defense. Unlawfully possessing a gun or rifle can result in you being sent to county jail, owing thousands of dollars in fines, and leave a misdemeanor or a felony conviction on your record. You could also be forced to give up the weapon and lose the right to own a firearm in the future.
Embezzlement
Have you been accused of embezzlement? According to California Penal Code section 503, embezzlement is the dishonest act of withholding assets or obtaining money under a false pretense by an individual who is in a position of trust.
Drug Crimes
California law carries harsh penalties for anyone that is found possessing illegal narcotics or controlled substances. Small amounts of any drug can land a person jail time, fines and treatment programs. However, if you have been charged with large-scale possession with the intent to sell you could be facing even higher penalties. If you were found with large quantities of the drugs or substance, large amounts of cash, scales and packaging materials, you were probably charged with intent to sell, which falls under drug crimes.
Assault
Assault and battery are two commonly used phrases and are often intertwined into one charge. However, assault is a very separate accusation from battery. Assault is the apprehension of violence and sometimes can relate directly to physical contact with the other person. If you make a threat towards someone, allowing them to believe that you are going to cause them physical harm, this is considered assault. Assault is usually verbal and puts the victim at fear of imminent contact and battery.
Murder
First degree murder â€”If the act of murder was willful, deliberate, and premeditated, a first degree charge will be given. Often times the use of a deadly weapon will result in a first degree charge.
Juvenile Crimes
It is against the law in California to deface, damage or destroy someone else's property without the property's owner's permission. This is a crime that is referred to as vandalism. One common type of vandalism is the act of defacing a property with graffiti or other inscribed material. A few examples of the different types of property that can be defaced, damaged or destroyed through vandalism include real property (such as buildings), public property, signs, vehicles and furnishings. Vandalism is a common juvenile crime, though many adults are charged with this offense as well. The penalties given for vandalism convictions depend on the amount of damage that occurred as a result of the offense.
Homicide
Manslaughter is distinctly different from murder. Unlike murder, where a person kills another with malice (hatred) or as a premeditated act, manslaughter charges are often filed against people who cause accidents. Manslaughter is still a form of homicide, but the criminal element of intent to kill is usually missing. Someone who gets in a car after a long night at a bar does not have the intent of going out to cause a murder, but rather causes an accident which results in the untimely death of another individual.
Arson
Arson is defined as the burning down of another individualâ€™s property. You may be charged with arson if you have burned the personal property of another individual, a building or land. If charged, you may be penalized with time in prison, exorbitant fines, restitution, or probation. Due to the serious and sensitive nature of an arson offense, you cannot simply sit back and wait for your charges to blow over. You need to be proactive and ensure you are defended by a skilled and trusted criminal defense attorney.
Shoplifting
There are a variety of reasons people shoplift. Sometimes it is because they cannot afford the item up front, or just for the thrill of stealing something. Other times, it is simply a matter of making a mistake and using poor judgment. Perhaps you put the book into your bag as you were shopping and walked out forgetting to pay? Absent-mindedness sometimes plays a big role in shoplifting cases. There are times when people are accused of shoplifting an item that they already own, but perhaps was sold in the store that they were in. In some unfortunate events, the defendant could have been framed.
Restraining Order
Under California Penal Code 240, assault can be punished with six months in a county jail, a fine of a maximum of $1,000 and you could be forced to do community services and serve probation. Other penalties for being convicted of assault may also be the completion of counseling programs or restraining orders. If handed a restraining order, you may have to change daily things about your life. Restraining orders can limit how you get to work, where you can go to socialize and could sometimes even deter you from seeing friends and family members.
Forgery
Many people assume that forgery comes in the form of simply signing someone else's name onto a document, but in reality, it encompasses much more of this. Counterfeit seals or falsifying documents such as unemployment records or legal documentation or notarized document can be considered forgery.
Money Laundering
White collar crime investigations can take months and sometimes years to gather enough evidence to prosecute an individual. Bank & bookkeeping records, phone & email records, company & salary statements are sometimes need to be gathered in order to accuse someone of a white collar crime. The evidence is often tricky to collect because of various search warrants that must be executed, but when an investigation is conducted properly, charges such as money laundering, fraud, grand theft and embezzlement may be leveled against an individual.
Kidnapping
Penal code section 207 defines kidnapping as the act of forcibly taking, holding or detaining another person against his or her will using force or fear. In order to be considered kidnapping the person must have moved a substantial distance without their consent. It is important to understand there are certain aggravating factors that can make a kidnapping sentence
Manslaughter
Vehicular manslaughter is defined as a charge where an individual causes an accident involving either another vehicle or pedestrian and causes death. The individual involved is usually driving recklessly or driving under the influence of intoxicating substances such as alcohol or drugs.
Prostitution
Sex crimes are taken very seriously because they more often than not involve force or sexual conduct with a minor. If you have been accused of a sex crime or are being investigated for a sex crime, now is the time to involve a criminal defense attorney. Sex offenders have heavy penalties to face, from fines and jail time to life as a registered sex offender. Indecent exposure, rape, molestation, unlawful intercourse with a minor, prostitution, child pornography, child sexual abuse and sexual assault, among many others, can all be considered sex crimes.
Extortion
If the defendant commits a crime of kidnapping in connection with extortion they could face felony charges with a prison sentence of up to 2,3, or 4 years.
Hit and Run
If you were charged with fleeing the scene of an accident, also known as hit and run, you may be up against severe penalties. According to California Vehicle Codes 20001 and 20002, anyone involved in a collision, even a minor fender bender, must pull over, check on the other party, and exchange information if any damage or injury occurred. A person must do this even if the accident was not their fault. When a person fails to so, even if they pulled over but didn't share accurate information, they could face criminal charges and leave a stain on their record.
