Bottom line? You need a good criminal defense attorney. I'd strongly suggest you find someone who focuses on criminal law and who routinely practices in the court where this case will be heard.

Depending on what the underlying conviction was for, you could face a misdemeanor if your offense was a misdemeanor or a felonybif he charge that causes you to register is a felony.

To make matters worse, if the underlying charge was a strike, you're looking at state prison for 32 months.

Get a lawyer immediately.
