Will I have a criminal record if I plead guilty if I got a pink summons for disorderly conduct?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Irwin G. Klein (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Hein, Waters and Klein
No, you won't have a criminal record if you plead guilty. You are only charged with a Violation not a crime. Although the maximum fine is $250 the Judge will usually set a lower fine. When you go to court, before you plead guilty to the charge ask the Prosecutor or Judge, if there is no prosecutor if you can have an ACD instead of pleading guilty to the summons.

What should someone do if they are being falsely accused of a criminal charge?

Cynthia Russell Henley
Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Cynthia Henley
Even if he does contact the detective, he is going to get a warrant. He should NOT contact the detective. There is nothing that he can say that will stop a warrant from issuing. The detective is simply trying to tie him down to a story and information. The detective's job is not to determine who is telling the truth but only to investigate & present the case to the prosecutors' office. And, they will accept charges if the girl says he did it - almost no matter what. The case will then be presented to a grand jury to see if there is probable cause to hold the case over for a trial. He will be able to plead guilty or not guilty, but he is 99% chance going to get charged. If he gets arrested and cannot afford a lawyer because he is indigent - does not own property - then a lawyer will be appointed to represent him. He will likely sit in jail while the case is pending. These are VERY serious charges.

Is a hit and run a felony?

Ardalon Fakhimi
Answered by attorney Ardalon Fakhimi
Criminal Law lawyer at California Criminal Defense Center
A hit and run in California can be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor. While most hit and run cases are filed as misdemeanors, they may be filed as felonies if there are serious injuries to the victim.
