Charged with Vandalism in California? I’m Here to Defend Your Rights and Your Record.
Vandalism might seem like a minor offense, but in California, it can lead to serious legal consequences, including fines, jail time, and a criminal record. Whether you’re accused of graffiti, property damage, or destruction of public property, a vandalism charge can have long-lasting effects on your life. If you’re facing vandalism charges, it’s crucial to have a knowledgeable attorney who understands California’s specific laws and can provide a strong defense. I’m committed to protecting your rights and working toward the best possible outcome for your case.
What I Offer:
Expertise in California Vandalism Law: Under California Penal Code Section 594, vandalism is defined as maliciously damaging, destroying, or defacing someone else’s property. The severity of the charges can depend on the value of the damage, with potential for either misdemeanor or felony charges. I’ll help you understand the specifics of the law and how they apply to your case.
Challenging the Evidence: Defending against a vandalism charge often involves questioning the evidence. I’ll thoroughly investigate the circumstances of the alleged vandalism, including whether you were accurately identified as the perpetrator, whether the damage was accidental or intentional, and whether the property owner’s valuation of the damage is accurate.
Defending Against Misdemeanor and Felony Charges: In California, vandalism can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the extent of the damage and the circumstances of the case. I’ll work to reduce felony charges to misdemeanors, which carry lighter penalties and less long-term impact.
Minimizing Penalties: Even if a conviction seems likely, I’ll fight to minimize the penalties you face. This could involve negotiating for a lesser charge, such as trespassing, or advocating for alternative sentencing options like community service, probation, or restitution instead of jail time.
Protecting Your Future: A vandalism conviction can have long-term effects, including difficulty finding employment, housing, or education opportunities. I’ll work to protect your record and your future, seeking the best possible resolution for your case, including potential expungement options if applicable.
