Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Contact your local public defenders office as they would have the best idea. If they will not speak to you, call some criminal defense attorneys to get a general range. You need to get an attorney since your being charged as an adult may be better for you than as a minor.

The DA will try to convict you on the criminal charges, which carry jail time.

What can you do? Defend the charges. Go to court, enter a not guilty plea, arrange bail reduction or OR, set up and attend the court hearing[s] and trial date[s]. File evidence suppression or other motions as applicable. Raise all the available defenses with whatever admissible and credible witnesses, evidence and facts are available for legal arguments for motions, plea bargaining, or at trial. Go to trial if it can't be resolved with motions or a plea bargain. There is no magic wand to wave and make it all disappear. If you don't know how to do these things, then hire an attorney that does, who will try to get a decent plea bargain for you. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help you use whatever defenses you may have.
