Under California law, some misdemeanor crimes can be elevated to felonies. These are known as “wobblers” and may include the following crimes:
- Assault
- Battery
- Domestic Violence
- Hit and Run
- Embezzlement
- Drug Offenses (Certain)
- Criminal Threats
- Fraud
- Vandalism
- Possession of Firearm
When expungement (clearing a criminal record) or sentencing hangs in the balance over the status of a wobbler, legal representation is especially critical.
The right attorney can tip the justice scales in favor of a misdemeanor, and minimize the impact and punishment of “wobbler” crimes. Call California criminal defense attorney Stephen G. Rodriguez & Associates for a free consultation.
