Accused of False Imprisonment in California? I’m Here to Protect Your Rights and Reputation.
False imprisonment is a serious charge in California, involving the unlawful restraint of another person’s freedom of movement. Whether the accusation stems from a misunderstanding, a domestic dispute, or a complex legal situation, the consequences of a false imprisonment conviction can be severe, including jail time, fines, and a lasting criminal record. If you’ve been charged with false imprisonment, it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney who understands California law and can provide a robust defense. I’m committed to defending your rights and working towards the best possible outcome for your case.
What I Offer:
Understanding California False Imprisonment Law: Under California Penal Code Section 236, false imprisonment is defined as the unlawful violation of the personal liberty of another. This can involve physically restraining someone, using threats or coercion to restrict their movement, or any act that prevents a person from freely leaving a location. I’ll help you understand the specific charges against you, whether it’s misdemeanor or felony false imprisonment, and how the law applies to your situation.
Challenging the Evidence: A strong defense against false imprisonment charges often involves challenging the prosecution’s evidence. I’ll thoroughly investigate the circumstances of the alleged incident, looking for inconsistencies in witness statements, lack of intent, or any evidence that suggests the restraint was consensual or justified. My goal is to create reasonable doubt and work toward having the charges reduced or dismissed.
Defending Against Misdemeanor and Felony Charges: False imprisonment can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony in California, depending on factors such as the use of violence, menace, or deceit. I’ll work to reduce felony charges to misdemeanors or have the charges dismissed altogether, minimizing the impact on your life and future.
Exploring Legal Defenses: Various legal defenses can be effective in false imprisonment cases. These include proving that the alleged victim’s restraint was consensual, that there was a legal justification for the restraint (such as a citizen’s arrest), or that the accusations are false or exaggerated. I’ll explore every possible defense strategy to protect your rights and achieve the best outcome.
Minimizing Penalties: Even if a conviction seems likely, I’ll fight to minimize the penalties you face. This could involve negotiating plea deals for lesser charges, advocating for probation instead of jail time, or seeking alternative sentencing options that focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
