Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

The only way to effectively fight ANY criminal charges is with a lawyer who has all the facts. This isn't a do-it-yourself project like fixing a leaky faucet that can be handled with a little advice over the Internet.

If your husband can't afford to hire his own lawyer, he is entitled to one at government expense sbd the judge will appoint the Public Defender. Either way, his lawyer is entitled to review all of the police reports, witness statements and other evidence. Without that information, it is impossible to develop a meaningful defense strategy.

Assault with a deadly weapon can be punished by up to four years in state prison. If your husband is convicted of a felony using a car as a weapon, he will also lose his drivers license forever.

By hiring an attorney that knows what he is doing and can effectively use whatever facts, witnesses, evidence and arguments may be available to the defendant for motions and trial. No amount of free hints and tips are going to be of any substantial value to you. He faces potential substantial prison time, so should take his defense seriously. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me.

The best way to fight it is with competent, aggressive representation. It may be a little late now, but your husband needs to be advised to keep his mouth shut and not talk to the police about anything, there will be plenty of time later on to do this, after he is represented by counsel.
