For college and university students who have been accused of sexual misconduct, a Title IX investigation is a high-stakes ordeal that can quickly become one of the most stressful experiences of their lives.

It's important to understand the difference between a current and lapsed license: a current license is valid and has not expired whereas a lapsed license is no longer valid because it has expired. A lapse can occur for many reasons but often happens when the person doesn't renew their license on time or at all. It is also important to understand that anyone suspected of illicit sale of cannabis may be able to use a lapsed cannabis license as a mitigating factor in their defense. However, it won't often be a complete defense. Even legal permits have only a certain reach. Being charged with selling cannabis without a license is a serious offense and can have lifelong implications for anyone who is convicted. If you have been arrested for selling cannabis without a license, it is important to get in touch with a Los Angeles drug crime defense lawyer right away. Werksman Jackson & Quinn LLP works hard to make sure that you are treated fairly by the police and the judicial system.

Boating under the influence carries similar penalties to driving under the influence. ▪️First offense BUI (with no prior BUIs or DUIs within the previous seven years) is a misdemeanor offense, potentially punishable by a county jail sentence of up to six months and fines of up to $1,000. Most first-time BUI offenders are sentenced to informal probation and DUI education. ▪️Prior offenders with a BUI or DUI within the previous seven years could possibly be sentenced to one year in jail and $1,000 in fines. It is more likely that the sentence will be formal or informal probation and 18 to 30 months of DUI education. ▪️Misdemeanor BUI may be eligible for pretrial diversion. If granted and successfully completed, pretrial diversion results in dismissal of the charges. ▪️BUI with injuries is a wobbler, meaning it can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony, at the discretion of the prosecution, depending on any priors and the extent and severity of the injuries. Felony BUI is punishable by a prison sentence of up to one year and fines of up to $5,000. Aggravated felony BUI involving serious injury or death of another person can carry up to 10 years in prison. In addition to criminal penalties, a BUI conviction can result in driver’s license or commercial vessel license suspension or revocation. It also leaves you with a permanent criminal record, which can impact future opportunities for employment, housing, education, and professional standing. If you have been charged with BUI, our experienced Los Angeles boating under the influence defense lawyers at Werksman Jackson & Quinn LLP can fight for the best possible outcome by negotiating with the prosecution, filing pre-trial motions, and defending you in court.

People may assume that buying a gun for someone else is simply a way of doing them a favor. Perhaps a spouse cannot make it to the gun store, a family member wants to use your discount, or a friend asks you to purchase a firearm because you have more experience with firearms. But even if the person receiving the gun can legally own one, buying a gun for someone else can have serious legal consequences. Under both California and federal law, these transactions may be viewed as a criminal offense. Prosecutors aggressively pursue these cases because they believe straw purchases help place firearms into the hands of prohibited individuals and undermine background check laws. If you have been accused of making an illegal firearm purchase, or if investigators have contacted you about purchasing a gun for someone else, you should speak with an attorney right away. The Los Angeles arms tracking defense lawyers at Werksman Jackson & Quinn LLP understand how serious these cases can be, and we know how to effectively defend clients against state and federal charges.

If you are called to testify before a federal grand jury in Los Angeles and hear the word “immunity,” you may assume you cannot be charged. That assumption can be dangerous. Immunity often means prosecutors cannot use your testimony, or evidence they discover because of that testimony, against you. It does not always mean the case is over. In situations where immunity is on the table, the accused stands to benefit from experienced legal counsel. Werksman Jackson & Quinn LLP represents witnesses, subjects, and targets in Los Angeles federal criminal investigations.

A fatal pedestrian crash in Los Angeles can quickly become a criminal investigation. A review of driving speed, visibility, who had the right of way, possible impairment or distraction, road conditions, witness accounts, and video must take place before deciding which charges or claims may follow. A driver is not guilty of vehicular manslaughter just because a pedestrian died. California law requires prosecutors to connect the death to unlawful driving, or to lawful driving performed unlawfully, and the level of negligence affects the charge. A Los Angeles vehicular manslaughter lawyer at Werksman Jackson & Quinn LLP could test those issues before the driver makes statements that prosecutors may later use out of context.
