Because of the way assault and battery cases are defined in the state of California, many defendants are surprised to find that they have been charged with a serious criminal offense even after a minor altercation that did not result in any injuries.
An assault is essentially a threat; but if there is injury to another party, then there is an assault and battery, which can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the facts and circumstances of the specific situation.
If you are charged with assault and battery in Orange County, and need an Orange County criminal defense attorney and/or Orange County professional licensing defense lawyer, contact Peter F. Iocona, Attorney at Law for a Free Consultation.
Under California law, domestic violence is defined as abuse between two people who are married, domestic partners, dating or have previously dated, live or lived together, have a child together, or are closely related by blood and/or marriage.
Oftentimes, especially in situations of a misunderstanding or disagreement, one party does not desire prosecution; but the other party can still be charged with domestic violence despite the other party's desire to have the charges dropped.
If you are charged with domestic violence in Orange County, and need an Orange County criminal defense attorney and/or Orange County professional licensing defense lawyer, contact Peter F. Iocona, Attorney at Law for a Free Consultation.
Penal Code Section 422 defines the crime commonly known as making criminal threats is making threats of death or great bodily injury that are intended to, and actually do, place a victim or victims in reasonable and sustained fear for their safety and/or the safety of their families.
Criminal or terroristic threats can be filed as either a misdemeanor or a felony; however, a felony conviction for criminal or terroristic threats is considered a "strike" under the California Three Strikes Law.
If you are charged with criminal or terroristic threats in Orange County, and need an Orange County criminal defense attorney and/or Orange County professional licensing defense lawyer, contact Peter F. Iocona, Attorney at Law for a Free Consultation.
Theft-related crimes are crimes of moral turpitude, which means they are crimes against your character or morals.
Theft-related charges include petty theft, grand theft, or grand theft auto (GTA).
Because these crimes involve dishonesty, or deceit, it is important to try to avoid having a conviction as a conviction can carry long-term consequences to your employment or obtaining or maintaining your professional license through your respective Board.
If you are charged with petty theft or grand theft, including grand theft auto, in Orange County, and need an Orange County criminal defense attorney and/or Orange County professional licensing defense lawyer, contact Peter F. Iocona, Attorney at Law.
Theft-related charges include crimes like fraud, which includes embezzlement and sometimes white collar crimes, the latter of which often involve complex schemes to defraud a number of alleged victims instead of just one victim.
White collar crimes often come with increased sentences depending on the nature of the alleged fraudulent scheme, the number of alleged victims and the level of sophistication of the alleged scheme to defraud others with the fraud scheme.
If you are charged with fraud, embezzlement or white collar crime in Orange County, and need an Orange County criminal defense attorney and/or Orange County professional licensing defense lawyer, contact Peter F. Iocona, Attorney at Law.
Theft-related crimes include some crimes of violence, or potential violence, such as the crime of robbery and burglary, particularly whether the accused was armed as opposed to unarmed and whether, in the case of burglary, occupants were in the dwelling at the time the dwelling that was burglarized. When applied to a commercial building, the crime is often called commercial burglary, whether there were or were not any occupants at the time of the alleged burglary regardless of whether the person charged knew the dwelling was occupied at the time.

To many people, sex crimes such as sexual assault, rape, spousal rape, lewd acts with a minor, and solicitation of a minor are often considered to be one of the most despicable crimes so it can be difficult for a defendant to assert their innocence in addition to the realization that they may have to register as a "Sex Offender" pursuant to Penal Code Section 290. The registration can be for life or for a delineated period of time.

California law prohibits engaging in the act of prostitution, and therefore, law enforcement officials are legally allowed to arrest the customer, the prostitute, and any middlemen involved.

When facing federal criminal charges for federal crimes, it is important that you hire an experienced federal criminal defense attorney who is capable of handling these matters. Our federal defense team has represented individuals and businesses nationwide against federal investigations, grand jury subpoenas, and federal criminal charges.
We have extensive experience in federal criminal defense. We have a thorough understanding of federal laws, regulations, and court procedures, and are also licensed to practice in federal court. Any time a crime is committed on federal property, or violates federal law, it may be charged as a federal crime.
A federal crime is a crime that is made illegal by U.S. federal legislation, meaning that any charges will be tried in a federal courthouse and by a federal judge. Most laws that are enforced in the United States are heard on the state level because they are made illegal by state legislation.
If the Federal Government or any federal agency suspects that you may have committed a crime that violates federal statutes, then the agency responsible for investigating these types of crimes will open an investigation against your own alleged criminal actions. Depending on the nature of the alleged crimes, any number of agencies, task forces, surveillance teams, and more may take part in the investigation as they begin to build a case against you often in conjunction with an Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA).

Paying taxes in the United States is said to be one of two things that are unavoidable; the other being death. Nevertheless, people still find ways to avoid paying taxes and hope that the Internal Revenue Service does not catch up with them. The reality is that the IRS and their investigators typically identify tax evasion during audits—whether they catch on immediately, or if it takes a few years, is irrelevant.
The IRS does not take issue with someone using legal means to reduce their taxes because these means are specifically considered and determined to be a productive way to handle income. The problem arises when someone uses illegal methods to reduce the amount of money that they owe in taxes, whether state or federal, using a variety of unlawful methods that suggest or demonstrate that the taxpayer is attempting to defraud the government by not paying the appropriate amount of taxes either by trying to evade paying taxes or committing tax fraud to avoid paying the appropriate amount of taxes.
If you have been charged with tax evasion or tax fraud by the IRS, working with an experienced tax evasion attorney is one of the best steps that you can take in order to ensure that you are taking the right steps towards a resolution. Trying to take on the IRS, (or any other federal agency for that matter), on your own is overwhelming and unadvisable. Working with a law firm experienced in federal crimes and federal agencies is the best way to make sure that your case gets the attention and the consideration the case deserves because again, there are two certainties in life: death and taxes.
If the IRS suspects that you may have committed a tax evasion or tax fraud, you do not want to handle the matter with just a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or Enrolled Agent (EA), because while they will be able to deal with the accounting procedures, they are typically not equipped to handle the criminal charges that will frequently accompany a tax audit to determine whether you committed tax evasion or tax fraud - you need an experienced federal attorney.
If you are charged with a tax fraud or tax evasion in Orange County or elsewhere, and need an Orange County criminal defense attorney and/or Orange County professional licensing defense lawyer, contact Peter F. Iocona, Attorney at Law for a Free Consultation.
