Criminal Defense
Crimes are classified into three levels in the State of California: infractions, misdemeanors, and felonies. Infractions are minor offenses
like traffic violations. Misdemeanors are minor crimes, and are punishable with a jail sentence of up to one year. Felonies are the
more serious crimes punishable with a possible minimun prison sentence.
