What actions are essential after a Pasadena arrest?
Invoke your right to remain silent and contact attorney Tony Tung immediately. Do not speak to law enforcement without legal counsel present.
How does a criminal defense lawyer assist me?
A criminal defense attorney investigates evidence, interviews witnesses, negotiates with prosecutors for reduced charges or dismissal, files crucial motions to protect your rights, and represents you vigorously in court.
What penalties follow felony convictions?
Felony convictions can result in imprisonment (county jail or state prison), heavy fines, lengthy probation, loss of civil rights (like voting or firearm ownership), and lasting employment difficulties. The specific penalties depend on the crime and prior record.
Is criminal record expungement available in California?
Yes. Many convictions are eligible for expungement under Penal Code §1203.4 following successful completion of probation and fulfillment of all sentencing terms. This can clear your record for many employment purposes.
How is bail determined in Pasadena?
Bail amounts initially follow a set schedule based on the charges. However, an attorney can request bail reductions or release on recognizance (O.R. release) during court hearings by presenting arguments about community ties, flight risk, and public safety.
