OVERVIEW OF CRIMINAL DEFENSE

Criminal law is the body of law related to so-called "public wrongs". The federal government, along with cities and states prosecute people who commit crimes that range from traffic violations to murder or rape.

If you find yourself charged with a crime, you need legal counsel from an experienced attorney who will protect your rights. Mr. Stivers' passion and experience in protecting his clients has led to great results in each of his individual cases.

MISDEMEANORS:

Crimes regarded as less serious are referred to as misdemeanors. A misdemeanor usually is punishable by a fine, or by incarceration in a local jail for a period of less than one year. Although the charges may be considered minor, being accused of a misdemeanor - not to mention being convicted of one, can cause a major disruption in the life of the accused. You may go to jail or spend long hours on the side of the road picking up trash (cal trans). A misdemeanor can also hinder one's future employment prospects. As with any criminal case, it is important that a defendant have excellent representation, even for a misdemeanor type situation. If you have been accused of a misdemeanor, seek the help of an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately. Mr. Stivers has handled countless misdemeanor cases with succesful completions, including dismissals. Call Mr. Stivers immediately at 949-364-1199 to protect you and help with these types of cases.

FELONIES:

The most serious type of crime is a felony. A felony is any crime that can be punished by more than a year of imprisonment,or in some very severe cases death. State criminal codes may call a crime an "aggravated" or "gross" misdemeanor, but if the offense calls for a sentence of more than one year of incarceration or punishment in the State Prison, those crimes will be treated as a felonies. When being charged for more serious crimes, such as felonies, the need for a criminal defense attorney becomes urgent. In certain cases, Mr. Stivers can petition the Court to reduce your felony case down to a misdemeanor or allow you to earn a misdemeanor at the end of your probation. Mr. Stivers can also attempt to bargain for alternatives to jail and state prison, such as home confinement, work furlough, cal trans, drug rehabilitation centers, etc.

What to do if you are falsely accused of a crime:

Believe it or not, many people are falsely accused of crimes. The best way to avoid such an unjust result is to immediately seek counsel from the best attorney possible. A knowledgeable attorney knows their way around the criminal justice system. They will be able to guide you and help through the complex proceedings and ensure fair and just results.
