Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
What can I expect in a disturbing the peace case. Fighting words and intoxication
2 Answers from Attorneys
The maximum sentence is 90 days in the county jail, with a fine of $400.00, not counting the enhancements and court fees. But that does not count the hidden penalties of a conviction.
What can I expect?
Prosecution on the misdemeanor criminal charges.
The sentencing depends upon all the facts, and upon the plea bargain or trial verdict.
If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, programs, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help fight and get the best outcome possible, using whatever defenses and sympathies there may be.
