Sex Crimes

Sex crimes in California encompass a wide range of activities. They include everything from rape to child molestation to pimping. While some sex crimes are considered misdemeanors and some are felonies, others are considered wobblers. A wobbler can be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor. While Solano County sex crimes attorney Elliot Silver will do his best to prevent any conviction, having a felony sex crime conviction is something to be avoided at all costs.

California weapons laws aren’t always straightforward. There are many subtleties involved. That’s why, if you are arrested on weapons charges, you need excellent legal help. Solano County weapons charges defense lawyer Elliot Silver can deliver that help. Some weapons crimes are considered wobblers. This means that they can be charged as misdemeanors or felonies.

Assault

If you are convicted on assault or battery charges, the consequences can be devastating. If you are convicted of a felony, you may spend two to four years behind bars.

Crimes Against the Public Peace

Fights happen. It is a fact of life. Most of the time, spectators disperse and both people walk away. Sometimes, though, a police officer comes around. When that happens, spectators and participants can be arrested for disturbing the peace. That can seem like no big deal, but when the fight happens in certain locations – like on campus – jail time and fines can quickly become a reality.

Property Crimes

Traffic Offenses

Traffic tickets can be a pain. A misdemeanor or felony traffic conviction can be a nightmare. Charges like driving without a license, racing on a public highway, and reckless driving can have lifelong repercussions. A clean record will get marred with a criminal conviction. You’ll likely have to pay hefty fines and increased insurance premiums – and maybe even spend time in jail. If you’ve been accused of a misdemeanor or felony traffic offense, you need to call Elliott Silver. He is an accomplished Solano County traffic crimes attorney who will put his skill to work for you in crafting the defense you deserve.

Domestic Violence

An arrest for domestic violence may catch you unawares. That’s because California law incorporates much more then spousal battery under the umbrella of domestic violence. Domestic violence is defined as activity between “intimate partners,” which can be a long-term boyfriend or girlfriend, someone who lives with you, or your spouse. In addition, the abuse does not need to be physical in nature; it can consist of threats, intimidation, or stalking. Regardless of the alleged behavior that prompted your arrest, your first move should be to call Solano County domestic violence attorney Elliott Silver. Silver Law Firm has extensive experience in mounting defenses for those accused of domestic violence. The firm can help you, too.

Juvenile Crimes

California legalized recreational cannabis in 2018, but that legalization does not extend to those under the age of 21.

That’s why you need to call Solano County juvenile crimes attorney Elliot Silver. Silver Law Firm will do everything within its power to prevent a conviction, and to ensure the bright future to which your child is entitled.

Federal Crimes

It is critical to take accusations of federal criminal activity very seriously. If you have been indicted by a grand jury, that means a group of people agreed that there is enough evidence to bring a case against you. A grand jury works in secret, but you may have received a target letter indicating that you are under the microscope. If so, you should call Solano County federal crimes lawyer Elliot Silver immediately. He has the experience and knowledge to navigate the federal criminal justice system on your behalf. You can count on the fact that Silver Law Firm will go to the mat for your freedom.
