Re: developmentally disabled

There is no automatic pre-set discount/sentence reduction for being developmentally disabled. That said, it seems this could be an important factor along with prior record, possibility of (quick) restitution, where the case is located and other facts and circumstances of the case.

Feel free to contact me if looking to retain a criminal defense lawyer in Southern California. Very best,

The outcome depends upon the charges, the defenses available, the skill of your attorney, the attitude of the prosecutor and judge, etc. The charges could be felony with prison time, but deals are usually cut. Feel free to contact me if serious about getting the legal help necessary in this, if the case is in SoCal courts.
