Misdemeanor Offenses in San Diego

San Diego Criminal Defense Attorney

A misdemeanor conviction has a potential punishment of up to one year in county jail and a fine of up to $1000. Although a judge cannot sentence a person to prison on a misdemeanor, the consequences can affect a person's employment and/or residency if not a US citizen. Some misdemeanor offenses require a person to register as a sex offender, lose a driver license for up to a year, become unable to possess a firearm and/or loss of child custody. A person can be placed on probation from three to five years and be required to attend a program such as drug rehabilitation, anger management, parenting classes or domestic violence. Some of these programs can be expensive and last for over a year. There are a number of alternative sentencing options that will require a careful analysis of case facts, the relevant law and negotiations efforts. If negotiation is not an option, then a trial strategy is required with careful preparations that include witness preparations, field investigations and developing a trial plan that increases the chances of success.

As a criminal defense attorney, John R. Rodriguez has represented hundreds of people accused of a misdemeanor offense. He understands that a conviction or multiple convictions of some misdemeanor offenses may result in loss of employment, their liberty and/or affect a client's residency in the state. Attorney Rodriguez has the experience and is committed to helping his clients find the most effective legal solution possible. His aggressive representation has consistently resulted in finding alternative solutions to jail, a dismissal of the case or winning the case at trial.
