Law Offices of David A. Welch

Child Abuse

Criminal Defense
Southern California Defense Attorney David A. Welch is very experienced at filing and obtaining expungements for our clients. California Penal Code § 1203.4, can be somewhat complex if you have no experience in the criminal defense profession. In addition to the complexity of Penal Code § 1203.4, each court has its own process for obtaining an expungement that is controlled by that court's local rules.
DUI/DWI
If you were arrested for DUI, the police likely confiscated your Drivers License and gave you a pink piece of paper called a "Temporary License / Order of Suspension". Even with a minimal level of suspicion, the law allows officers to confiscate California Drivers Licenses. This action sets in motion a DMV license suspension unless proper steps are taken. It is important that those arrested take immediate steps to challenge this suspension. Within 10 days of your arrest date, a hearing needs to be requested to have an opportunity to avoid a suspension. Our office can assist you in timely making this request.
Traffic Violations
The prosecutor may be able to show you committed an illegal act if you were speeding, failed to stop at a red light or stop sign, make an illegal turn, etc. For negligence, the prosecutor must show that you failed to use the reasonable care to prevent a reasonably foreseeable harm to another.
Sex Crimes
Fraud
Robbery
Three Strikes " law, which doubles penalties for any future conviction. Carjacking is a type of Robbery involving the theft of an automobile or other vehicle by means of force or threat or both. California Penal Code Section 215 describes Carjacking as the "felonious taking of a motor vehicle... with the intent to permanently or temporary deprive... by means of force or fear". The California law covers a broad interpretation as to what constitutes Carjacking. The taking of the vehicle can be only temporary, and does not need to be from the owner of the vehicle; the taking can even be from a passenger.
Burglary
Burglary is a theft crime that occurs while entering a home, business or other property. Burglary does not require an act of violence, merely the intent of committing a theft while entering another's property. At times, individuals are charged with burglary even in instances where nothing was taken: the charged individual had the intent. Surprisingly, some aggressive prosecutors will charge even shoplifters with Commercial Burglary, thereby increasing the potential penalties those accused may face.
White Collar Crimes
Since 1995, he has developed an extensive background in criminal and civil litigation. He has handled hundreds of misdemeanor and felony cases ranging from DUI and juvenile matters to domestic violence, white collar crimes, and violent crimes. His clients have included professionals such as nurses, doctors, teachers and military personnel in all branches of the US Military.
Theft
Misdemeanors
If you have been arrested or are under investigation for committing a theft offense you should speak to an experienced Southern California Attorney immediately. Prosecutors aggressively pursue theft charges, whether they are misdemeanors or felonies.
Embezzlement
Fraud is a theft offense where another is deceived in order to obtain property. Embezzlement is misappropriation of funds that are entrusted to a person, such as an employee or financial advisor.
Drug Crimes
If you or a loved one are being charged for a Drug Crime do not hesitate to contact our office for a free consultation.
Assault
There are varying interpretations as to what constitutes ASSAULT. According to California Penal Code Section 240, assault is: "an unlawful attempt, coupled with a present ability, to commit a violent injury on the person of another." The key word is “attempt”, in that an actual injury does not need to have taken place. Aggravated assault is a more serious crime under the assault code sections. Aggravated Assault is a crime which carries the intention and ability to inflict serious bodily injury on the potential victim.
Murder
St degree murder with special circumstance allegations. California Penal Code section 187 defines murder as “the unlawful killing of a human being, or a fetus, with malice aforethought.”
Juvenile Crimes
Probation Violation
Prosecutors may move for a Violation of Probation allegation if an individual fails to comply with stated terms of probation. Often courts will look favorably on those who are making genuine attempts to comply or have documentation regarding valid reasons for a failure to comply with court orders. Individuals accused of violating probation are entitled to a Probation Violation Hearing in which the violation can be contested. Whether the violation is contested or admitted, the judge has the discretion to allow a reinstatement of probation or to order additional punishment.
Homicide
The felony murder rule is a type of homicide occurring during the commission of a felony. For example, if a victim or even an accomplice is killed, even accidently during the commission of a robbery or other felony, murder charges can be filed under the felony murder rule.
Shoplifting
Petty Theft and/or Shoplifting is the most common type of theft crime, where items are taken (sometimes even inadvertently) from a store, residence or individual.
Restraining Order
While no attorney can guarantee a result, the goal in all cases is to avoid a conviction for domestic violence if possible. If an individual is convicted of domestic violence, there is a mandatory firearm restriction and often restraining orders are placed either preventing or limiting contact with the alleged victim.
Money Laundering
Kidnapping
Strike ", a Carjacking conviction can carry penalties including up to three, six or nine years of state prison for a first offense. Additional allegations can seriously enhance the potential sentence. For example, if a child or other passenger remains in the vehicle after it is taken, a Kidnapping allegation can be added, carrying a life sentence! If the vehicle is taken across state lines, an additional ten years may be added to the sentence in addition to the possibility of federal charges. In the most extreme situation, if a victim were killed in the commission of a Carjacking, Murder charges would be filed carrying the possibility of the death penalty. No matter how serious the circumstances, clearly the penalties for Carjacking are extremely harsh.
Manslaughter
Vehicular Manslaughter involves a death resulting from an unlawful act causing death while driving a vehicle. It could be a case as simple as a person being involved in an accident where an individual mistakenly ran a red light and an individual in the other vehicle was killed.
