Sex With A Minor Charges Reduced Ending In Community Service and Informal Probation

“I was charged with unlawful sexual intercourse, Penal Code Section 261.5 for having sex with a minor. Substantial evidence, including my confession, proved I committed the crime. The indicated sentence from the court if I plead guilty was 60 days in jail, registration as a sex offender, and four years of probation. Notably the sex registration is something I would have had to do every year for the rest of my life. In addition, finding a job and even buying a home would have been extremely difficult because of the possible harassment by police authorities. Therefore, I hired the law offices of Wallin & Klarich to represent me. Their attorneys are well acquainted with the District Attorneys and the judges for each court. They charged me a flat fee, and we continued to make court appearances until the District Attorney finally agreed to reduce my charges to a “disturbing the peace, Penal Code Section 415,” and I was sentenced to community service and informal probation. With this disposition I avoided having to register as a sex offender, as well as having a sex offense on my record. Also, I was not required to do any jail time. The efforts of the attorneys of Wallin & Klarich saved my life from being seriously and permanently affected. I would enthusiastically recommend them for any criminal matter.”
