Questions
What constitutes domestic violence in California?
California Penal Code 273.5 defines domestic violence as inflicting physical injury on a current or former intimate partner, requiring visible injuries like bruises or scratches.
Can drug possession charges be dismissed?
Yes, through evidence suppression motions challenging unlawful searches or Fourth Amendment violations, as demonstrated in multiple successful dismissals by Attorney Ajlouny.
How does juvenile court differ from adult court?
Juvenile court focuses on rehabilitation over punishment, with proceedings aiming to reintegrate minors into society through treatment programs rather than incarceration.
What happens after a federal criminal charge?
Federal charges carry minimum five-year sentences. Immediate attorney intervention is critical to challenge prosecutorial evidence from agencies like FBI/DEA and negotiate plea alternatives.
Is a trial better than a plea deal?
Each case requires analysis: trials may secure dismissals through reasonable doubt, while strategic pleas can reduce charges to misdemeanors with community service requirements.
