      Our client resides in Kings County and retained the services of our Kings County Sex Offender termination attorneys to petition for his removal from the sex offender registry at the court in that county. However, because he was convicted in a different courthouse several decades earlier, we were required to notify the district attorney‘s office that originally prosecuted him. Despite the Kings County courthouse having jurisdiction over our client’s termination petition because he currently resides there, the court where he was originally convicted insisted on hearing the petition. Further, the original court also insisted on the physical presence of our attorneys to explain why any hearing on the petition should be taken off calendar. Our California sex offender, registration termination change of venue, attorneys sided the specific and relevant section of the Penal Code governing which court has jurisdiction over a sex offender, registration termination petition.

    • Stanislaus County Courthouse Grants Contested Petition to Terminate Sex Offender Registration - Sex Crimes

      Before becoming our client, a middle-aged resident of Stanislaus County and registered sex offender had previously been convicted of a registrable offense in the early 1980s.

      Since then, due to his convicted registered sex offender status, his life became a living hell, as various obstacles surfaced and snowballed into worse problems still. He had problems finding housing, maintaining friendships and (after Megan’s Law was enacted and his sex offender profile were posted online as a result), was subjected to numerous angry, menacing encounters by people who despised him for his registered sex offender status (and accused him of being a “pedophile” and a “child molester.”) To compound the misery, a malignant tumor he thought had been successfully extirpated relapsed, i.e., resurfaced. This unfortunate cancerous recurrence impacted his spine, rendering him a paraplegic. He was no longer able to walk nor perambulate without the use of an electric wheelchair. Just win this “avalanche“ of severe existential problems seemed too much to bear, one day, he came across our information and proceeded to contact us. Witnessing the patently-obvious talent, high quality of our lawyers and their encyclopedic knowledge of the law, he retained our services. Our Stanislaus county sex offender registration termination petition attorneys worked with our client to gather documents that would support his merit-worthiness under the “critical factors“ laid out in sure enough, we predicted correctly: Penal Code section 290.5(a)(3), which would come in very handy in the event of a prosecutorial objection to his petition. Just one hour client thought getting off the registry would be a journey on a “primrose path“, the prosecutor made it known to us that she was considering formalizing her objection to the petition UNLESS we could provide certain documentation to help convince her that our client was worthy of a withdrawal of said objection. Our attorneys drafted a “behemoth” memorandum of points and authorities (with a beautifully-organized “stockpile” of supporting documents referenced in our motion) in the event the prosecution would ultimately persist in their objection even with satisfactory documents. Without having to seek any continuance of the hearing, since our lawyers had preemptively and proactively gathered the vast majority of supporting forums documents in advance of filing the petition (in anticipation of a prosecutorial objection),

      Despite our providing the prosecution with the requested documentation, there was no definitive decision communicated to us about the DA withdrawing or moving forward with their objection as of the eve before the morning hearing on the petition. Needless to say, this created some apprehension for our client who, having been used to bad news of various types throughout his “post-sex crime conviction“ life, was growing despondent that he might lose his petition. Fortunately, our client had little reason to feel any consternation. Satisfied that our Stanislaus courthouse PC 290 registration termination attorneys had provided substantive evidence of our client’s rehabilitation, the prosecutor unambiguously withdrew their objection and the Honorable Judge GRANTED our client’s petition. When we communicate the news to our client, he was virtually speechless and at a loss for words at what seemed a surreal conclusion to his case. Feeling great relief and overcome with emotion, our client was moved to tears and profusely expressed his abundant gratitude to us.

      Liberated from the shackles of the dehumanizing, degrading and debasing stigma associated with his the sex offender “label,” our client is now “sailing into the sunset,” ready to begin the next chapter of his life as a Registry-free man.

By the time our client came to us, he was generally skeptical of attorneys, given the poor results he had previously gotten. We accepted his case. We prepared a several-hundred-pages-long trial brief-with-exhibits in anticipation that the prosecutor would try to object to his petition to be removed from the sex offender registry under the Tiered Registry Law, i.e., revised PC 290.5 (previously “Senate Bill 384”).

Our client was moved to tears and his faith in the legal process was restored. He profusely expressed his gratitude. We are now helping him reintegrate back into society so that his online privacy is fully restored, among other things. Our client is now a free man.

To complicate things further, the Riverside district attorney’s office would have to be notified of the petition for removal because that is the county where his conviction happened. He was afraid that the prosecutor may make things difficult in attempting to get off the registry due to the severity of his conviction. Our West Covina sex offender registration termination attorneys went to work, preparing for the possibility that the prosecutor would ask for a community safety hearing. We gathered the necessary documents and prepared to deliver a masterful argument in court as to why removing our client from the sex offender registry would not endanger community safety in any way. We submitted the forms and followed the strict procedure of the Tiered registry law. Our attorney appeared in person with our client. There was some back-and-forth between our attorney and the judge as well as the prosecutor that made it feel like the prosecutor would object. But our attorney, with his masterful knowledge of Penal Code section 290 and Penal Code section 290.5, argued that our client was unambiguously eligible for removal. The prosecutor relented and the judge granted our client’s petition. Our client was happy, ecstatic and elated beyond words.

      Our client, a military veteran who dutifully served his country, had previously come to our office to discuss the various hardships and adversities he has faced as a registered sex offender. He told us he had visited other lawyers in the past but none of them seemed to have a grasp of the law as our law firm. After he hired us, we went to work gathering substantial documentation that would help in the event of any objection from the prosecutor to our petition to terminate sex offender registration. We also assembled various legal arguments to optimize our preparation. We submitted the necessary forms and served required notice on the district attorneys office and his annual registration office.

    • San Joaquin County, Stockton Courthouse Grants Petition to Terminate Sex Offender Registration - Sex Crimes Sex Offender Registration Terminated

      Our client was previously convicted in 1996 of what is now classified as a Tier 2 registrable offense. Despite his very skilled labor background, our client was unable to secure the sort of employment he would’ve been able to get had he not been convicted of this crime. Additionally, he had other (non-sex crime) convictions. Due to our Attorneys’ encyclopedic knowledge of California Penal Code section 290, the California sex offender registry act, we were able to identify potential obstacles in the way of our client petitioning to be removed from the sex offender registry. California Penal Code section 290.5(a)(3) states that the court can consider all criminal convictions, not just the registrable offense. In anticipation of the strong likelihood our client’s petition would be met with an objection by the prosecution, our Stockton sex offender registration attorneys went to work, successfully expunging our client’s various other convictions (which included battery, theft, and drug possession). Having cleaned up our client’s record to the extent possible, our San Joaquin County sex crimes attorneys submitted our client’s CR–415 petition to terminate Sex Offender registration, along with accompanying forms and documents. Having proven our client’s eligibility under Senate Bill 384 (now revised Penal Code §290), the San Joaquin County, Stockton Courthouse granted our client’s petition. Our client cried tears of joy upon experiencing this life-changing moment. Our client expressed eternal gratitude to us for giving him back his freedom, dignity and humanity. With the burdensome repercussions of his conviction now behind him, our client is now ready to begin the next chapter of his life.

    • West Covina Courthouse Grants Petition to Terminate Sex Offender Registration - Sex Crimes Sex Offender Registration Terminated

      A gentleman in his late 30s contacted us regarding his prior sex offender registrable conviction. He told us about how much harm the repercussions of that conviction had caused him, including but not limited to loss of employment and inability to find better work, given the stigma and infamy associated with the nature of his offense. To further complicate matters, he also had another criminal conviction (DUI, violation of California Vehicle Code section 23152(a)). We anticipated that the prosecution would object to his petition because pursuant to California Penal Code section 290.5 (a)(3), the court can consider other (including non-registrable) convictions in it’s determination as to whether to grant or deny the petition. Our West Covina sex crimes defense attorneys went to work, immediately but thoroughly drafting and submitting an expungement petition per California Penal Code section 1203.4 to expunge his DUI case. The court granted the expungement; we then gathered the necessary documentation to submit his petition for termination from the PC290 sex offender registry. Despite the odds against our client, our West Covina sex offender registration termination lawyers PREVAILED and the court granted the petition to terminate sex offender registration. Our client is eternally grateful for our hard work on his behalf. With so much of his life still ahead of him, our client can now look forward to the next (and registry-free) chapter in his life.

    • Santa Clara County, San Jose Courthouse Grants Petition to Terminate Sex Offender Registration After Successful Tier Reduction from Tier 3 to Tier 1 - Sex Crimes Sex Offender Registration Terminated

      An elderly gentleman beset by illness (and his wife) contacted our office who had been convicted a little more than a decade prior of a Tier 3 offense. He said he had contacted other attorneys who said it was impossible for him to get off the registry. One of them told him he should simply resign himself to dying a Registered Sex Offender. However, when we researched his case, we discovered that, so long as we could succeed in reducing his felony sex crime conviction to a misdemeanor, it would be, indeed, possible for him to be removed from the registry. Our San Jose sex offender registration termination attorneys went to work, first with a motion to reduce from Felony to Misdemeanor pursuant to Penal Code section 17 (b). The court granted the motion. Our lawyers then immediately forwarded to the California Department of justice proof that our client's tier 3 felony conviction had been reduced to a misdemeanor. The California Department of Justice then notified our firm that a new tier level designation letter would be made available to our client at his annual registration office. Our client, despite his health and fragility, went to the annual registration office and obtained his new tier 1 letter. Our lawyers then swiftly but thoroughly prepared the petition for our client to be removed from the Sex Offender Registry, but not without first preparing for the possibility of an objection by the prosecutor. Despite the inaccurate information that our client has been given by other lawyers, the Santa Clara County, San Jose courthouse granted our client's petition. When we provided our client proof that he was off the registry, his and his wife's eyes welled up with tears of joy, they vociferously expressed their deep gratitude for all of our hard work. With the painful repercussions of his past conviction now behind him, this wonderful man and his supportive, loving wife can now resume their golden years in peace, tranquility and happiness.

    • El Dorado County, El Dorado Courthouse Grants Petition To Terminate Sex Offender Registration - Sex Crimes Sex Offender Registration Terminated

      Our client, a gentleman in his 70’s, was previously convicted of a lifetime registrable offense, specifically California Penal Code Section 311.11(a), possession of illegal images. Because he was convicted of the felony version of this offense, he was initially designated Tier 3 - Lifetime. He told us he had heard of the wonderful results we had achieved for other Registrants. He had previously consulted other attorneys, who either told him it wasn’t possible to change his tier designation or who failed to show a competent understanding of California sex offender registration law. After securing our legal representation, our El Dorado sex offender registration termination attorneys went to work, first filing a Motion to Reduce his Felony 311.11(a) Conviction, which the court granted. Our lawyers immediately contacted the California Department of Justice to request a new tier designation, which was granted upon proof of the reduction of our client’s felony to a misdemeanor. With our client’s new tier designation, we filed his petition to terminate sex offender registration. The court GRANTED the petition we prepared and filed for him. Our client’s family expressed eternal gratitude for our efforts. We are so happy to have restored our client’s honor, dignity and humanity.

      Our client, a middle-aged man from Alameda County, contacted our office because he was previously convicted of a sex offender registrable offense and had been placed on lifetime sex offender registration. He bemoaned the fact that he had faced intense housing, employment and other discrimination, and felt like a second-class citizen since his conviction. Our Alameda county sex offender registration termination attorneys undertook representation, assembling all the necessary documents to prepare against the potential of the prosecutor issuing an objection under California Penal Code section 290.5 (a)(2). After filing judicial council forms CR-415, et seq., complied with all of the notice requirements and the court set a hearing date. Sure enough, the court h granted the petition.

    • Pomona Courthouse Drops Felony Lewd and Lascivious Acts with a Child Charged Against PC 290 Registrant Client - Sex Crimes Charges Dropped

      Our client, who we were already representing to begin pursuing removal from the lifetime sex offender, was the subject of a criminal allegation from his stepdaughter. The prosecutor filed a felony complaint against our client for violations of California Penal Code section 288(a), commonly known as lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age, as well as a sentencing enhancement due to his prior conviction for the same offense. To help protect our client against the possibility of lingering in pretrial custody, while facing such a serious accusation, our sex crimes bail reduction attorneys prepared a voluminous motion to reduce bail or release “O.R” (“own recognizance). Our masterful, pretrial motion resulted in a whopping 163% REDUCTION of his bail, such that our client went home after posting a comparatively meager amount for bond. Our Pomona sex crimes Attorneys collected the discovery, and went to work to identify any and all weaknesses, frailties and debilities in the prosecution’s case. They also identified anything that could be identified as strengths in the prosecutor’s case, and began building powerful counterarguments, attacking the merit of the allegations as well as their admissibility under the California Evidence Code. Our Pomona lewd and lascivious acts with a minor defense attorneys drafted a qualitatively- and quantitatively-voluminous mitigation packet arguing for dismissal of the charges. Our persistent work paid off: the district attorney dropped all charges. Our client is elated and eternally grateful to our Pomona, lewd and lascivious acts with a minor charges defense attorneys that he does not have to spend potentially years or decades rotting away in a state prison. The court exonerated his bond and our client is no longer burdened with an ominous felony case against him.

    • Santa Clara County, San Jose Courthouse Grants Petition for Removal from Sex Offender Registry - Sex Crimes Removed from Sex Offender Registry

      Before becoming our client, a San Jose registered sex offender consulted us about pursuing his removal from the sex offender registration. He had told us how difficult it was to find and keep employment, the social alienation created by his notorious and stigmatic legal status, as well, as the aggressive persecution and adversity he had faith from others, who found his registered sex offender status to be abominable and abhorrent. Our San Jose sex offender registration termination attorneys researched his case and discovered that he would be eligible under California’s revised Penal Code 290, otherwise, now known as the tiered registry, because his offense code (Penal Code section 288(a) PC) correlated to Tier 2, the absence of a high or otherwise problematic score per the STATIC-99 risk assessment, as well as the fact that as well as the fact that he had fulfilled the mandatory minimum registration period for his tier level. However, we anticipated that the prosecutor may try to use his criminal background, which contained other criminal convictions (albeit no additional registrable convictions) to argue that keeping on the Registry with significantly enhance community safety. Our San Jose criminal record, clean up attorneys got to work filing expungements of his other convictions. Sure enough, the courts granted our expungement petitions. However, being the consummate perfectionists that they are, our San Jose sex crimes attorneys gathered a litany of documents and built a powerful legal argument, rooted in the critical factors enunciated in Penal Code section 290.5. Our diligent preparation paid off and a Santa Clara county court judge granted our client’s CR-415 petition to terminate duty to register as a sex offender. Upon learning the news, our client cried tears of joy and expressed abundant gratitude to our firm that he can now resume his life without the “Scarlet Letter” effect of the “registered sex offender” label burdening anymore.

    • Plumas County Superior Court Grants Contested Petition to Terminate Sex Offender Registration - Sex Crimes Sex Offender Registration Terminated

      Before he became our client, a PC 290 Registrant from Plumas County visited our office to consult with our Attorneys. He told us of the excruciating hardships, lost job opportunities, persecution, harassment and death threats he had faced since his 1988 sex offender registrable conviction. His eyes welled up with tears as he told us how he had been, in effect, chased out of the community in which he had lived after the publication of his sex offender profile in 1996 (when the California DOJ Megan’s Law community notification website went up). Our Sex Offender Registration Termination Attorneys went to work. Well before we submitted his Sex Offender Registration Termination Petition, our expungement attorneys submitted various expungement petitions in multiple counties throughout the state of California (where our client had incurred various convictions over the years). We then went to work amassing documentation to help satisfy the seven (7) critical factors laid out Penal Code section 290.5 (a)(3) in the event the prosecutor objected to our client’s petition. Only after such a thorough cleansing of our client’s record, and the accumulation of a plethora supporting exhibits (in anticipation of an objection by the DA) did we file the CR-415 Petition to Terminate Sex Offender Registration. Sure enough, just as we had predicted, the Plumas County District Attorney objected to our client’s petition and proceeded to file and serve us with a 63-page objection (motion and exhibits) articulation the reasons: broadly, the egregious facts of the underlying case and our client’s non-registrable criminal convictions he had picked up in addition to his registrable offense. Our community safety hearing trial attorneys issued a rebuttal motion that was a whopping one-hundred-and-twenty-four (124) pages (motion and supporting exhibits) in length. The expungements we had gotten our client suddenly became extremely handy in helping to counteract the negative impact of our client’s convictions. We also argued that despite the reprehensible nature of the acts of which our client had been convicted, it was important to acknowledge that they did NOT involve violence, coercion, “stranger danger,” or repeat sexual criminal activity. During the community safety hearing, the Judge expressed her concern that our client had not taken a sex offender counseling program. Quick on his feet, our Plumas County criminal trial attorney addressed the court’s concern: our client’s conviction had taken place about six (6) years before the passage of amended California Penal Code Section 1203.067(b) that required a defendant who had been granted probation "to be placed in an appropriate treatment program designed to deal with child molestation or sexual offenders, if an appropriate program is available in the county." (Former 1203.067(b), added by Stats. 1994, ch. 918, 1.). Moreover, our client’s conviction took place approximately 22 years before the September 9, 2010 amendment to section 1203.067 as part of the Chelsea King Child Predator Prevention Act of 2010 (Stats. 2010, ch. 219, 1) that required persons placed on formal supervised probation on or after July 1, 2012, to “successfully complete a sex offender management program.” Therefore, he was not required, as part of his sentence, to attend a sex offender counseling program. Having read and considered the DA’s motion and our motion opposing the DA’s motion, and after having weighed all of the above-mentioned critical factors, the Honorable Judge GRANTED our client’s petition to terminate sex offender registration. Our client and his wife were moved to tears and effusively expressed their unmitigated gratitude to our Attorney. They are ready to begin the next chapter of their life, without the chains of lifetime sex offender registration weighing down on our client.

    • Santa Clara County, San Jose Courthouse Grants Yet Another Petition for Removal from the Sex Offender Registry - Sex Crimes Sex Offender Registration Terminated

      Before becoming our client, a middle-aged man visited our Attorneys and relayed to us how he and his wife have endured years of prejudice, alienation and persecution as a result of his being on the Sex Offender Registry (represented by previous counsel been convicted to a registrable offense). He was desperate to be removed from the sex offender registry. Upon research, we discovered he was eligible to be removed from the sex offender registry pursuant to the Tiered Registry statute (California Penal Code §§ 290, 290.5 et seq.). However, we were concerned that a subsequent conviction for failure to register (specifically, was convicted of having violated California Penal Code section 290(g)(2)) would interfere with his ability to successfully petition off the registry, especially since the prosecutor could have used that to leverage a denial of our client’s petition. In anticipation of a denial, our San Jose Sex Offender Registry Termination Attorneys went to work gathering documentation in support of our position and then assembling a powerful legal argument in the event the prosecutor objected to our client’s petition. Having abided by the strict procedures and notification requirements, our Santa Clara PC 290 registration termination attorneys prevailed and the court GRANTED our client’s petition. Our client expressed his gratitude through tears of joy. He can now chart a new course in life, no longer weighed down by the burden, pain and humiliation of being a registered sex offender.

    • Santa Clara County, San Jose Criminal Courthouse Grants Contested Petition to Terminate Sex Offender Registration - Sex Crimes Sex Offender Registration Terminated

      Before becoming our client, a middle-aged resident of San Jose contacted us regarding his lifetime sex offender registration obligation (the result of a registrable conviction he sustained a few decades ago). Our client bemoaned all of the hatred, animosity and persecution that had been directed his way for decades on account of his being a convicted sex offender. Our San Jose Sex Offender Registration termination lawyers prepared a petition to terminate his registered sex offender registration status but we also intuited that the prosecutor would be objecting to the petition, largely due to the particularly-unfavorable facts of his original case. In anticipation of the government’s opposition, we compiled varying supporting documents and began brainstorming a rebuttal. Sure enough, just as our attorneys had predicted, the prosecutor objected to our client’s petition, citing (among other reasons) the reprehensible nature of the sex acts that led to the underlying conviction. Our Santa Clara sex offender registration termination attorneys drafted and submitted a very lengthy motion and memorandum of points and authorities with a voluminous set of supporting exhibits. It appears that the prosecution ultimately recognized the strength of our supporting motion to grant our client’s CR-415 petition because, despite having contested the petition, we received a communication from the DA’s office (just days before the actual hearing) that they would no longer be opposed. Sure enough, the San Jose Hall of justice GRANTED our client’s petition. He is eternally grateful and is ready to begin the next chapter of his registry-free life.

    • El Dorado County, Placerville Courthouse Grants Contested Petition to Terminate Sex Offender Registration - Sex Crimes

      Our client, before retaining us, had previously sustained a conviction for Lewd and Lascivious Acts with a Minor (violation of Penal Code, section 288 (a)) in the early 1990s. He had been accused of molesting his stepson (though there was no corroborating forensic evidence to substantiate the allegation). Evidently due in part to deficient former counsel, he was ultimately convicted and sentenced to 14 years in prison, though he actually served half. Despite the onerous burdens and indignities he was made to endure from his lifetime sex offender registrable conviction, as well as the humiliation of a very public presence (CalDOJ Megan’s Law Website and a bevy of commercially-owned “mirror” sites), our client maintained his resolve to pick up the broken pieces of his life. He maintained a completely law-abiding life and immersed himself in wholesome, productive and altruistic conduct. When he came to us as a prospect, our client was desperate to reclaim his freedom, dignity, and humanity, telling us the various ways in which his life had been so utterly, completely, and existentially upended. Our Placerville sex offender registration termination attorneys went to work preparing the petition. But that's not all they did. In anticipation of a potential objection from the government, our El Dorado county sex offender registration termination lawyers gathered evidence that would substantiate our client's merit and worthiness to be removed from the sex offender registry (pursuant to SB 384, a.k.a. revised PC 290, et seq). Just as we had intuited, the district attorney filed and served Judicial Council form CR-417 indicating their opposition to our client's petition on the grounds that “community safety would be significantly enhanced by [our client’s] continued registration." Our attorneys conducted abundant legal research and prepared a motion to grant our clients CR-415 petition over the objection of the prosecution. Between the memorandum of points and authorities and supporting exhibits, the motion was literally one-hundred (100) pages in length. More importantly, it was substantively compelling and persuasive, with a deep analysis of the registration statute and its application to our client. The “community safety, hearing” (or "bench trial" that was calendared to litigate the prosecutor's objection) was very contentious: our trial attorney and the prosecutor passionately argued their positions, and the judge initially appeared to side with the prosecution. However, our trial attorney gave a rousing presentation replete with references to the “critical factors” enunciated in the statute and public policy arguments that had driven Senate Bill 384 to being signed into law. Despite her initial reservations due to the severity of the facts previous alleged against our client, and apparently swayed by our trial attorney's arguments, the honorable judge (a very wise and learned jurist) granted our petition. Our client and his wife were moved to tears, realizing that this would the beginning of a new, stigma-free, registration-free chapter of their lives. Their expressions of gratitude were profuse, exuberant and felicitous.

      Our client, a deeply-religious and lawaabiding married man in his 50s, was previously convicted of a lifetime-sex offender registrable crime. He bemoaned the various hardships, humiliations, and other adversities he has had to endure over the years despite the decades that had gone by since his conviction. Our Sacramento sex offender registration termination attorneys conducted a thorough review of his background to pursue post-conviction remedies that would mitigate his background in anticipation of any objection from the prosecutor. We then went to work, preparing a masterful argument with supporting evidence that our client's criminal past is in the proverbial "rearview mirror," such that he has pivoted his conduct 180° from his criminal past and has since lived an upstanding, virtuous and irreproachable life. Sure enough, the Sacramento criminal courthouse granted our client's petition.

    • Contra Costa County Superior Court Grants Petition to Terminate Sex Offender Registration - Sex Crimes Sex Offender Registration Terminated

      Our client, a gentleman in his early senior years, retained our services to pursue his removal from lifetime sex offender registry. Because of his deep religious faith and the solace he obtained from worship services, he was particularly stung by many members of his congregation alienating him and ostracizing him over his registered sex offender status. The more he attempted to explain that he was not guilty of the crime of which he had been accused and ultimately convicted, the more it seemed people thought he was making excuses, causing them to alienate him even further. Anticipating the possibility that the prosecutor would object to his petition to terminate sex offender registration, our Martinez criminal courthouse attorneys prepared legal arguments and gathered documentation that would help establish our client’s merit and worthiness for relief. After having submitted the petition and having fulfilled the intricate notification requirements, the matter was heard and the court granted the petition we submitted on our client’s behalf. Moved to tears, our client was profuse, and his expression of gratitude to us. No longer living with the stigma of being identified as a registered sex offender, our client is ready to resume his life and a future that looks brighter than ever.

    • Sex Offender Registrant’s Tier-to-be-Determined Letter Designation Reduced to Lower Tier Level, clearing the path, forward to Petition to Terminate his Duty to Register as a Sex Offender - Sex Crimes

      We were approached by an elderly gentleman, a registered sex offender residing in Torrance, who was dismayed that his tier level designation letter said “tier-to-be-determined.” He visited with other lawyers, all of whom said nothing could be done. Our South Bay Sex Offender Registration Tier Level Reduction Attorneys researched this gentleman’s case, and came to the irrefutable conclusion that, per Penal Code 290(d)(2)(A), this Registrant fit the criteria for Tier 2, meaning he could petition to be removed from the sex offender registry after a mandatory minimum registration period of 20 years, which he had a long ago exceeded before becoming our client. Our Torrance tier level reduction attorneys prepared lengthy legal correspondence, citing specific statutory authority, and contacted the California Department of Justice (CalDOJ) requesting the issuance of a letter reflecting a new, accurate and lower tier level designation. Sure enough, the CalDOJ agreed with our findings and authorized the issuance of a Tier 2 level designation letter. Our client, laughing at the naysayers who said a tier reduction couldn’t happen in his case looks forward to having our Los Angeles sex offender registration termination law firm submitting his petition so that he can regain his freedom, dignity, and humanity. He is incredibly thankful to us for achieving such an important milestone in his case.

    • Sex Offender Registrant's Tier-to-be-Determined Letter Designation Reduced to Lower Tier Level, clearing the path forward to have his pending Petition to Terminate his Duty to Register as a Sex Offender Granted - Sex Crimes

      We were approached by middle-aged gentleman in San Jose (Santa Clara County), a registered sex offender, who was dismayed that the tier level designation letter he picked up from his annual registration office said "tier-to-be-determined." He approached other lawyers before contacting us, all of whom expressed defeatism that nothing could be done about his designation. Our San Jose Sex Offender Registration Tier Level Reduction Attorneys researched this gentleman's case and came to the irrefutable conclusion that, per Penal Code 290(d)(2)(A), he fit the criteria for Tier 2, meaning he could petition to be removed from the sex offender registry after a mandatory minimum registration period of 20 years (which, coupled with his qualifying offense code, rendered him eligible). Standing firm on the reasonable good faith belief that neither Penal Code Section 290(d)(5) nor any other statutory provision prevented our client from filing a petition to terminate duty to register as a sex offender EVEN IF our client placed in the Tier-to-be-Determined category, we filed our client's petition. The district attorney, apparently possessed of the same reasonable interpretation of the law, did not oppose the granting of our client's petition. Despite this, to avoid the risk of a summary denial of our client's petition, our firm in effect asked for and were given "leave" to procure our client's revised tier level designation WITHOUT withdrawing our client's pending petition in the interim. Our Santa Clara County tier level reduction attorneys prepared thorough legal correspondence, citing specific statutory authority, and contacted the California Department of Justice (CalDOJ) requesting the issuance of a new and accurate tier level designation letter. Just as we expected, the CalDOJ agreed with our findings and authorized the issuance of a Tier 2 level designation letter. Our client, laughing at the naysayers who said a tier reduction couldn't happen, is very grateful to us and looks forward to the court granting his petition so that he can begin the next chapter of his life, free from the "shackles" of the California sex offender registry.

    • Santa Clara County Superior Court Grants Petition to Terminate Sex Offender Registration - Sex Crimes

    • Ventura County Courthouse Grants Petition To Terminate Registration - Sex Crimes

      Before returning our services, our client had long ago been convicted of a registerable sex crime. His life deteriorated substantially thereafter.

    • Hanford Superior Court Grants Petition to Terminate Sex Offender Registration Requirement - Sex Crimes

      Before becoming our client, an elderly gentleman residing in Hanford, was previously convicted, having been represented by the public defender, and was made to serve prison time, followed by half a decade of supervised release. Because he was convicted of California Penal Code section 288 (a) PC, he was made to register as a sex offender per California Penal Code section 290 PC.

Despite his high intelligence and potential, this Registrant faced various impasses to further achievement. the stigma of being identified as a sex offender robbed him of his tranquility and peace of mind. Our Stanislaus County Sex Offender Registration Termination Attorneys accepted representation of this Registrant. Before filing our new client’s petition, our lawyers carefully prepared for the possibility that the DA would object, which they felt was highly likely to happen. Our Attorneys cleaned our client’s record first and gathered supporting documentation showing our Registrant client was law-abiding, productive and risk-free. Just as our lawyers predicted, the prosecutor filed its objection to our clients petition to be removed from the registry. Our Modesto Sex Offender Registration Termination Attorneys submitted a colossal motion with memorandum of points and authorities and supporting documentation to show that our client met all the critical factors in the legislation that made our client worthy of being removed from the Registry.

    • San Joaquin County, Stockton Courthouse Grants Petition To Terminate Duty To Register As Sex Offender Despite Prosecutor’s Objection - Sex Crimes

      Before becoming our client, the petitioner, a resident of San Joaquin County, was previously convicted (through prior counsel) of a sex offender registrable-offense in or about the year 2000. As a result of this, he was required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life in addition to being profiled on the Megans Law website. Needless to say, the petitioner was made to end her the various indignities of being profiled as, in effect, a registered convicted child molester. This had an adverse impact on his ability to get and maintain the employment of his choice, as well as his standing in the community (i.e., being shunned, ostracized and periodically threatened and persecuted on account of his sex offender identity). Having had enough of the stigma associated with his PC 290 status, this man retained the services of our stockton sex offender registration termination attorneys. Despite the fact that our client ostensibly or apparently was eligible to petition for rempval from the PC 290 registry, our San Joaquin County sex offender termination petition lawyers did not take our clients Tier 2 status for granted; in fact, our law firm anticipated that the prosecutor would object to the petition, especially given that our client had been accused of child molestation again 6 years after his PC 290 conviction by the same accusing party. Sure enough, shortly after the removal petition was filed with the court, the Stockton district attorney’s office objected to our client’s petition and asked the court to hold a hearing on the petition because “the petitioner’s continued registration would know significantly enhance community safety”. Our California community safety hearing trial lawyers conducted extensive legal research and drafted a memorandum of points and authorities packed with powerful, persuasive, and compelling legal argumentation countering the prosecutor’s objection. In addition, a mental health expert evaluated our client’s level of risk of recidivism and administered a battery of psychological tests. The mental health evaluation yielded that our client bears little to no risk of repeat offending. Despite this, the prosecutor did not withdraw its objection. Our Stockton sex offender registration termination trial attorney appeared in court and persuaded the judge to grant our client’s petition for removal from the registry over the objection of the district attorney. The Stockton courthouse granted the petition. Our client can now begin the next chapter of his life no longer encumbered or stigmatized by his previous sex offender registration requirement, and is eternally grateful for our representation.

    • Madera Courthouse Grants Petition to Terminate Sex Offender Registration - Sex Crimes

      Our client had previously been convicted (when represented by prior counsel) of having violated California Penal Code section 288 (a), lewd or lascivious acts involving a minor under 14.

However, our Madera County Sex Offender Registration Termination Attorneys reviewed his case and discovered he was in fact eligible to petition off the Registry. This did not stop them from preparing for the possibility of an objection from the district attorney. Despite the odds against our client, our Madera Courthouse Sex Offender Registration Termination Lawyers prevailed: the court granted the petition. Our client can now begin the next chapter of his life without the dark shadow of lifetime sex offender tegistration looming over him.

    • San Fernando Courthouse Grants Motion to Reduce 311.11(a) PC Conviction from Felony to Misdemeanor - Sex Crimes

      Before becoming our client, a PC 290 Registrant approached our firm because he was previously convicted (though former counsel) of having violated Penal Code §311.11 (a), possession of obscene matter involving a minor depicting a sexual act, and wanted to pursue a reduction of his felony conviction to a misdemeanor and reduction of his lifetime tier 3 status. He had been sentenced to sixty (60) months of probation, a suspended sentence of 365 days in jail and the payment of a fine and restitution. Pursuant to existing law at the time of the writing, a Penal Code §311.11(a) conviction is considered a Tier 3, i.e, lifetime sex offender registrable offense. Our client had previously spoken to other attorneys, who, perhaps predicated on their ignorance of the applicable law, said he would have to register for life and that nothing could be done. Our San Fernando Courthouse Sex Offender Registration Termination Attorneys assembled a powerful and persuasive memorandum of points and authorities with a multitude of supporting exhibits arguing the merits of why our clients felony 311.11a conviction should be reduced to a misdemeanor pursuant to Penal Code Section 17(b). Apparently our motion was so convincing, the court took the hearing (corresponding to our motion) off calendar and proceeded to grant the motion without the necessity of appearing in person and delivering verbal argument. The reduction will result in our client’s tier level designation to be reduced from lifetime tier 3 to the lowest tier, i.e, Tier 1, empowering us to petition for removal from the registry all together on his behalf at the close of his mandatory minimum registration period. Our client was moved to tears with joy and gratitude to our firm and looks forward to the next critical stage of his case.
