How (you might ask)? There are a couple of ways. In two recent cases clients were facing a felony charge for a violation of Penal Code section 487(a), grand theft of personal property. If convicted of the offense, the penalty is up to three years of incarceration. In these particular cases, one of the clients was also facing the loss of his professional license, and the other, the adverse consequence of being unable to get into a rigorous program that requires a background check. After thorough investigation and preparation of compelling mitigation packets by the Law Offices of Lawrence & Peck, the prosecution stipulated to misdemeanor diversion pursuant to Penal Code section 1001.95 in both cases. In one case, by reducing the felony charge to a misdemeanor, and the other, by amending the Complaint to add a misdemeanor charge. Once the clients satisfy their diversion terms and conditions, their cases will be dismissed and arrest records sealed.
