If you or a loved one are actively detained, under police surveillance, or being questioned by LAPD, LASD, or the CHP: Exercise your absolute 5th Amendment right to remain silent. Do not consent to warrantless searches or provide recorded statements without trial counsel present.

Misdemeanor vs. Felony Vandalism Value Thresholds

If damage is valued under $400, vandalism is a misdemeanor carrying up to 1 year in county jail. If damage equals or exceeds $400, prosecutors can charge felony vandalism punishable by state prison sentences.

Driver License Suspensions & Restitution Resolution

Convictions under PC 594 carry a mandatory 1-year driver license suspension for minors and adults. We negotiate restitution agreements and civil compromises to prevent license suspensions and clear charges.
