Protect Your Rights
In California, a crime is defined as an act committed or omitted in violation of a law. Crimes are punishable by a fine, removal or disqualification from State office, imprisonment, or even death. Before criminal penalties are imposed, however, the State must prove that an unlawful act was done with a wrongful intent. Constitutional protections apply throughout the criminal process—from the investigation through the time of arrest, trial, and sentencing—and a defendant is entitled to counsel at all these critical stages. A criminal attorney must know the procedural, evidentiary, and substantive rules of criminal law to present a logical and organized defense in court. If you have been charged with a crime, early intervention by the skilled attorneys at the Law Office of Daniel Jensen can help preserve your legal options and may even prevent charges from being filed.
Felonies & Misdemeanors
Depending upon their severity, crimes are classified as felonies, misdemeanors, or infractions. Felonies, such as murder and arson, are those crimes punished with jail time of a year or more. Misdemeanors, like petty theft, are crimes that are punished with fines or less than a year in jail. Infractions, which include traffic offenses, are generally subject to fines.
