Can My Felony Charge Be Reduced?

When you are charged and especially convicted of a felony it can set you back for the rest of your life.  It effects your job seeking, your relationship building, and even potentially your housing choices.  You are aware that in this day and age there is ALWAYS a way to find out your criminal record when someone is vetting you.

The good news is that there IS a way to reduce the damaging effects of a criminal conviction.  Most misdemeanors and felonies can be cleared in state court.  Were you aware of that?  If it is a more serious matter you may be able to turn to Certificates of Rehabilitation.  In California we have one of the most “pardoning” governors in the country.

The Ramifications of a DUI

What are the financial, lifestyle, and legal ramifications of a DUI?  Assuming it is a first–time offense and there are no additional charges or aggravating circumstances, you should prepare for the following:

1. Your driver’s license will be suspended for 30 days and you will be faced with administrative fees to the DMV to have it reinstated.

2. You will be ordered to pay a fine up to $1000 plus court costs and administrative fees.

3. You will receive a jail sentence of two days to six months, or community service if you are lucky.

4. You will be ordered to attend DUI School which you would have to pay for.

This is just part of the nightmare of getting a DUI.  Good people sometimes make bad decisions.  You have put yourself and others in jeopardy, but you should be able to get on with your life.  To make sure of that outcome, please call San Jose DUI attorney William Chestnut at (408) 298-6990.  Bill has defended thousands of clients for over 30 years.  Trust him to handle your case efficiently and aggressively.
