Criminal Law

290 Registration Issues Assault and Battery / Assault with Deadly Weapon Charged with a crime of violence?  These cases can range anywhere from 'no jail' to counting as a 'strike' against you depending upon the case.  If you have a case like this you need to consult with an attorney before you accept an offer that could tarnish your record for life. Burglary Cases Child Abuse / Child Neglect DMV hearings / APS / Negligent Operator Although the DMV conducts adminstrative hearings for several reasons, the most common hearing is that conducted after a driving under the influence charge.  You have 10 days from the date you were arrested for DUI to request a DMV hearing - if you do not your license will be suspended.  You need representation at these hearings if you have any hope at success.  Call now to speak with an attorney who has won DMV hearings over and over again. Domestic Violence A party charged with domestic violence is facing more than just jail - they may also be ordered to attend a full year of domestic violence classes at there own expense, may be ordered to stay away from the victim and may be ordered to pay restitution to the victim.  The penalties can be harsh.  Call now to speak to an attorney about your options. Drug Manufacture Drug manufacturing cases are treated very serious in California and very often carry state prison sentences to those convicted.  Call to speak to an attorney who has had charges as serious as this dropped entirely against his clients after hearing. Drug Possession / Personal Use or For Sale If you are charged with a drug possession offense, often you can obtain a good result and in many cases even keep your record completely clean.  There are many prerequisites to qualification - call now to see if we can help you! Drug Transportation / Distribution These types of offenses can be very serious.  Some of Mr. St. Amant's more recent case result include having a felony manufacture case completely dismissed and another possession for sale (7 counts - exposure of 12 years state prison) case where his client was granted probation and released. Drunk and Disorderly / Drunk in Public DUI / DWI / Drunk Driving One of the most common offenses in California is for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI).  The repercussions from a conviction for DUI are many and severe.  License suspension for a first time DUI can be 6 months in length or longer if your case is not handled correctly.  One of the most common misconceptions about a DUI is that there is nothing you can do to alleviate the punishment.  We can help, but remember you only have 10 days from the date of your arrest to request a DMV hearing to keep your license, so you need to act fast. Expungement / Cleaning Your Record Fraud / Embezzlement / Extortion The so-called 'white collar' crimes are punished with great severity in California Courts, often times resulting in large amounts of restitution paid to the victims.  To find out more about how to stay out of jail in these kinds of cases, call us now. Hate Crimes Hate crimes have become some of the most heavily prosecuted areas of criminal law and come with extreme sentencing additions if convicted.  To avoid getting railroaded into a lengthy prison sentence call us today. Lewd and Lascivious Conduct Penal Code Section 288 violations are extremely serious charges that can result in an 8 year prison sentence on a first time offense with no prior record.  A second victim in such a case can result in a life sentence!  Call now to learn more about what options are available to help in these difficult cases. Medical Marijuana Many people think that if they got a prescription from a doctor to have medical marijuana that they cannot be charged with possession or use.  This is not exactly the case and "fake doctors" have popped up everywhere in an effort to make a buck on phony prescriptions.  Possession of Alcohol by a Minor / Sale of Alcohol to a Minor / Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor Possession of Child Pornorgraphy Probation Violation / Parole Violation / Parole Hearing One of the most common ways to find oneself back in jail is by violating probation or parole.  Mr. St. Amant has the unique experience of having done Parole hearings in nearly every county in Southern California.  Mr. St. Amant is one of the few private attorneys that handle parole hearings (most of the attorneys who handle parole hearings are state appointed).  To find out how to mitigate the damage of such a violation call us now. Prostitution / Solicitation of Prostitution Prostitution and Pimping are serious crimes.  Pimping is a 'straight' felony and can come with a 6 year prison sentence (or 8 years if the prostitute was under 16). Rape / Statutory Rape / Sex with a Minor Restitution Hearings Sexual Harassmant / Stalking Terrorist Threats / Criminal Threats Vehicular Manslaughter
