Criminal

Society is becoming less tolerant. The legal system continues to get tougher on individual civil liberties. As a result, more people are being convicted of crimes every year—people who might not have faced conviction in the past. Harsh sentences mandated by sentencing guidelines mean tougher sentences than ever—sentences that may not fit the crime.
If you have been charged with a crime in California, don't gamble with the justice system. You value your freedom. Take action to protect it.
