Criminal Defense Attorney in Rancho Cucamonga

In November 2014, California voters passed Proposition 47, which aims to reduce the controversial overcrowding throughout our state's justice system. Prop 47 reclassifies many non-violent, less serious offenses from felonies to misdemeanors, and readjusts sentencing for those offenses accordingly. Under Proposition 47, the maximum sentence for nonviolent offenses is now one year in length. The law is retroactive, so anyone who is currently in prison for a crime reclassified under Prop 47 is immediately eligible to apply for resentencing. Thousands of people may now qualify for a release from prison, and you may be one of them!

Only non-violent offenders can apply for resentencing. Additionally, you must not have any previous convictions for crimes that were serious or violent in nature.
