The California Criminal Defense Process

Infractions: 
An infraction is generally a minor violation of California Law. Generally speaking, infractions are usually motor vehicle or moving violations. In some cases and individual charged with a misdemeanor may have their charges reduced to an infraction. 

Misdemeanor Charges: 
A misdemeanor is a more serious criminal charge as compared to an infraction. Punishment for a conviction of a misdemeanor could result in a county jail sentence of one-year (1 year) and a fine. If you are charged with a misdemeanor in Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino, West Covina, Pomona, or Riverside California you should call our Rancho Cucamonga misdemeanor criminal defense law offices today for a FREE consultation. Individuals charged with a misdemeanor should aggressively fight these charges as a misdemeanor conviction could have a negative impact on your future. 

Felony Charges: 
A felony charge is the most serious California criminal offense. An individual convicted of a felony could face more than a year in state prison and even death in some cases. An individual charged with a felony should seek the advice of an experienced Riverside & San Bernardino criminal attorney like Ryan P. McClure. Why risk your future and your reputation. A felony conviction can have long-lasting negative effects on an individuals future. 

Criminal Arraignment: 
The arraignment is the first appearance that an individual charged with a crime will make. The hearing will be made in front of a judge in the criminal division. The judge will explain the criminal charges and the rights of the individual, and the individual will enter a plea of Guilty, Not Guilty, or No Contest. If you have retained a San Bernardino and Riverside criminal lawyer your presence at this first hearing may not be required.

Preliminary Hearing: 
Not all cases require a preliminary hearing. If you are charged with a felony you will be required to have a preliminary hearing. The preliminary hearing is used by the judge to determine whether there is enough evidence to hold the individual over for trial. If so, the individual will be held to answer, which means that there will be another arraignment, which is called an arraignment on the information. If you have been charged with a felony in California you should call the San Bernardino & Riverside Law Offices of Ryan P. McClure. We can provide the experience that you need.
