Willits, CA Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

You do not yet know what incident the Deputy seeks to question your husband about. You are operating on a theft assumption. If you husband talks, he may be incriminating himself on something not related to the charges you are currently imagining. In this business, a fish that keeps his mouth shut is never caught? However, there is hysteria in your message. That type of passion most often results in a custody situation. The absolute best thing to do is have your husband meet one on one with an attorney. That means without you being present. The meeting will be like meeting with a trusted leader of your religion absolute, total and confidential. The lawyer will be retained and will handle all aspects of the Deputies inquiries.

851.8 is not applicable. Only if you were factually innocent. ie. guy is arrested with 3 oz marijuana. He has a medical marijuana recommendation. Case will be dumped AND then you can get an 851.8 as there never was a crime since he had a complete defense. If you plead that's the end. Look at PC 1203.4 as the only way to expunge a conviction. The trouble with the expungement section 1203.4 is that it really doesn't do much. It allows you to state you have never been convicted but the conviction still shows on the record and following it, it says, relief obtained pursuant to 1203.4 In the old days employers would pay a cop $50 for the rap sheet. That is now illegal but most places, when you apply, require you to give them permission to get your rep sheet. Some places don't. If you get the job and LATER they discover the conviction and try to fire you for lying on the application, they can't. That's about the only benefit of 1203.4
