Felony Crimes Are Serious, But All Is Not Lost
If you’ve been charged or convicted of a felony crime in California, you are certainly better off right from the start than someone charged or convicted in many other states, because California is a progressive state that seeks to continually update the existing laws to ensure fairness and equality for all. As a leader in progressive legislation, California takes pride in its system of well-considered laws and guidelines that are designed to give everyone a chance to restart their lives after paying the debt to society. But although fair, California laws can be rigid in some areas, and like many other states in our United States of America, repeat offenders will find little leniency in California courts.
At The Law Offices of Jonah Chew in San Francisco, California, we understand that people make mistakes. No one is perfect and from time to time, even good people have moments of poor judgment, succumb to financial pressures or family pressures, and end up making mistakes that they not only regret, but put them in hot water with the law. Misdemeanors are common and carry penalties indeed, but felony charges can literally ruin lives if they lead to a conviction.
You do not want to be convicted of a felony crime. You do not want to be convicted of a felony crime. We wrote that sentence twice because some things bear repeating. A felony conviction is a serious problem you want to avoid because it can wreak havoc on your life with possible prison time, loss of job, inability to work in certain careers, family problems, financial ruin, and more. If you or a loved one have been charged with a felony crime the time to act is yesterday, and by that we mean as soon as possible. You need to be in contact immediately with a criminal defense attorney, to get him or her up to speed on your case and charges, and let them get to work on your defense strategy right away. Every minute counts, because the prosecution is probably already on the case, your case, and they will be digging, investigating, and working long hours to try and get you convicted. Prosecutors love a conviction because every conviction they can get is another step on their ladder to success. For a prosecutor, more convictions equate to more respect and more opportunities to climb higher in their career.
At The Law Offices of Jonah Chew, we are in the business of ruining prosecutors’ dreams. How do we do that? We beat them—in court—where it counts.
