Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
how will a misdemeanor vandalism charge effect my ability to get a job?
2 Answers from Attorneys
Every job opening these days attracts dozens or hundreds of applicants, most of whom don't have criminal records, so my best guess is you won't work again.
Adversely, for life.
Of course you can fight the charges. When arrested or charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any testimony or evidence obtained in a test, search or confession be used against you, and can you be convicted, and what can you do? Raise all possible defenses with whatever admissible and credible witnesses, evidence, facts and sympathies are available for legal arguments, for evidence suppression or other motions, or at trial. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney that does, who will try to get a dismissal, diversion program, reduction, or other decent outcome through 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, using whatever defenses there may be.
