The stakes for felonies are high. Roughly two-thirds of felony arrests result in conviction, and although a sentence of probation with a brief jail term is possible, it's important to keep in mind that the minimum prison sentence for any felony conviction in California is 16 months.
Having an aggressive defense lawyer working on your behalf can make a huge difference.
Misdemeanors, although they may be thought of as "minor" crimes, carry a maximum punishment of up to a year in prison or jail, plus a stiff fine. These penalties can definitely cause a major disruption in the life of an individual and his or her family.
If you are facing one or more misdemeanor charges you should get the most experienced and skilled legal representation they can.
You may lose your right to stay in the United States even if you are arrested for even the most minor offenses.
You need an attorney with expertise in criminal and immigration law at onset of your criminal case if you want to avoid this.
Do not lose your rights and freedom contact Liberman & Sigal today before it is too late.

Experienced Legal Counsel at Every Stage of the Process
The process is slightly different for misdemeanors and felonies (for misdemeanor charges, the steps are only the Arraignment, Pretrial Hearing, and Trial). If you're fortunate enough to have a defense attorney on your side before you're arrested (e.g., during an investigation or initial police questioning), the process may be different.
