SUCCESSFUL RESOLUTION OF "JOYRIDING" CASE: REDUCTION FROM FELONY TO MISDEMEANOR

Our client was charged with Joyriding, that is, taking a vehicle without the owner's consent, in violation of California Vehicle Code Section 10851(a). The case was filed as a felony.  Our client was facing up to three (3) years in the California State Prison.  Negotiations resulted in the client paying restitution and being ordered to serve community service.  The client did not have to serve any jail time as a condition of probation.  Probation was reduced in severity from formal probation to summary probation.  Most importantly, the client's case was reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor.  The client is eligible to have the misdemeanor conviction expunged from her record after three years.

The primary reason our Torrance joyriding defense lawyers were able to succesfully resolve this case was because we reached out to the District Attorney and to the victim and arranged for restitution to be paid.  It is our experience that in crimes where people have suffered financial harm, working with the district attorney and the complaining witness to make them whole often results in a significantly-reduced offense for plea bargaining purposes and for a greatly reduced sentence.
