Alternative Sentencing Los Angeles

Below, are a few highlights from the video:

What do you do if a loved one has been accused of a crime in Los Angeles County?

As a former prosecutor, and experienced defense attorney, I am familiar with many options in Los Angeles County, where some persons charged with criminal violations, may have an opportunity to receive a dismissal of their charges. Many of these alternative sentences in Los Angeles must be explored prior to court, for an arrested person to be given appropriate consideration.

Case results always hinge on particular facts and law applicable to each case.

Charges sometimes considered for alternative sentencing include shoplifting/petty theft, hit and run, airport arrests, as well as other first-time offender cases.

So how does it work?

The District Attorney and local City Prosecutors will consider alternatives on a case by case basis. If you are accepted, you will likely have to complete certain program requirements to obtain the alternative sentencing resolution. Some of these programs are monitored by private companies, while other programs, such as the Office Hearing Programs, are handled by the prosecution agencies.
