Nancy J. Mazza

LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTY DUI ATTORNEY
CALIFORNIA DUI DEFENSE LAWYERS

In California, if you are arrested for a DUI, beware! It is not a slap on the wrist and has severe consequences. Driving with a BAC (blood alcohol content) of 0.08% or higher is illegal. Depending on someone’s weight, one drink can be enough to be DUI. If stopped by the police, the officer will determine whether or not you are under the influence by conducting field sobriety tests. This can range from simply walking to more extensive tests involving breath, blood, or urine. If you refuse, most likely you will be arrested and taken to jail.

A DUI can drastically affect your future. You need an experienced attorney such as Nancy J. Mazza to keep you out of jail and fight your DUI charges. The consequences for DUI are severe:

-First offense: Facing 48 hours to 6 months in jail. A fine of $390 to $1,000. A 3-9 month alcohol/drug treatment program. The DMV will also impose a 6-10 month driver’s license suspension.

-Second offense: 96 hours to 1 year in jail. Fine of $390-$1,000. An 18-30 month alcohol/drug treatment program. The DMV will also impose a 2-year driver’s license suspension.

-Third offense: A minimum of 120 days in jail, plus fines and treatment programs.

-Fourth offense: Could be charged as a felony with up to 3 years in prison.

Furthermore, if a repeat DUI driver kills someone, that driver can face second-degree murder charges since a judge gives that warning to any DUI offender at time of sentencing. In addition to the Court’s penalties, the Department of Motor Vehicles will take administrative actions against an individual’s driver’s license. This can result in restrictions, suspensions, and revocations.

The Law Office of Nancy J. Mazza will aggressively challenge all field sobriety tests and use our experience and knowledge to successfully defend you. Due to our superior representation, we have successfully had charges reduced or dismissed altogether.

LOS ANGELES JUVENILE CRIME ATTORNEY
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA JUVENILE DEFENSE LAWYERS

Juvenile delinquency, also known as juvenile offending or youth crime, is participation in illegal behavior by minors. These are individuals younger than the statutory age of majority or adult-hood.

California and other states have a legal system designed specifically for juveniles, including courts usually closed to the public and juvenile detention centers. A juvenile delinquent is a person who is typically under the age of 18 and commits an act that would have been charged as a crime if they were an adult.

Depending on the type and severity of the offense committed, such as attempted murder or murder, it is becoming more common for persons under 18 to be charged and tried as adults, frequently if it is a gang-related offense.

In California, juvenile crime is on the rise with our youth. Sometimes those crimes can have a devastating effect on the minors involved and on their families.

Attorney Nancy Mazza is well-acquainted with the high stakes involved in representing juvenile offenders. For many, it is a minor crime such as vandalism or graffiti, and ends up as a wake-up call for the juvenile to mend his or her ways, and move on to becoming a responsible adult. For others, due to socio-economic and gang influences, the charges rise to the level facing many adult offenders.

In recent years, the average age for first arrests has dropped significantly as younger boys and girls are committing crimes unheard of decades ago.

Attorney Mazza realizes a juvenile record can affect your child’s future and ruin the chances at employment and getting into the college of their choice. She will have your child’s best interests at heart and give your child a fighting chance to obtain a favorable legal outcome which both serves society and your child’s future.

If you need a juvenile crime attorney, contact us at once to protect your child’s rights.

LOS ANGELES SEX CRIMES DEFENSE ATTORNEY
Southern California Criminal Defense Firm

If you are being investigated or have been arrested for sex crimes, you need to hire an attorney who will immediately protect your rights. In addition to Violent Crimes, sex crimes are severely punished in California.

A sex crime is a crime against an individual which is unwanted and sexual in nature. A sex offender (also sex abuser or sexual abuser) is a person who has committed a sex crime. Some of the types of crimes which usually result in a mandatory sex-offender classification are: second prostitution conviction, sending or receiving obscene content in the form of SMS text messages-sexting, and relationships between young adults and teenagers resulting in corruption of a minor. If any sexual contact was made by an adult to a minor, then child molestation has occurred.

Other serious sex offenses are sexual assault, statutory rape, child sexual abuse, rape, and pandering obscenity.

Those convicted of sex crimes may face the following consequences and penalties:

-prison sentence
-lifetime registration as sex offender
-conviction on criminal record for life
-high fines
-probation or parole
-victim restitution
-counseling

As if public scorn isn’t enough, if you are convicted and sent to jail as a sex offender, you are often in danger and looked down upon by other inmates in jail. Once you have served your time, you must register as a sex offender with a national registry. Your reputation and character will be severely tarnished.

Attorney Nancy J. Mazza is highly experienced in dealing with the seriousness of any sex crime and aggressively pursues all challenges to such allegations. Sometimes individuals are wrongly accused, or over-charged. Our law office investigates every aspect of the allegations a client is facing and we work hard to regain your freedom and clear your name. We will guide you through the entire judicial process and work to obtain positive and favorable results for you.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ATTORNEYS
EXPERIENCED CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER

Domestic violence in California is the use of physical force, usually accompanied by fury, vehemence, or outrage; especially physical force unlawfully exercised, with the intent to harm a spouse, a loved one, or co-habitant, both mentally and physically.

Domestic violence is a very serious crime in California. Abusing your spouse, intimate partner, grandparents or child, physically or emotionally, can result in charges of domestic violence being filed. Domestic violence can also mean endangerment, criminal coercion, kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, trespassing, harassment, and stalking.

Families can be torn apart both emotionally and mentally, with sometimes serious physical repercussions.

If you are being investigated or have been arrested for domestic violence, you need an experienced, educated and knowledgeable attorney on your side with a proven track record. Domestic violence can include sexual abuse, intimidation, threats, physical harm, or someone being deprived of daily human activities and rights. Many domestic violence cases are over-charged, or the wrong harm is being alleged. It takes a skilled attorney, like Attorney Nancy Mazza, to help you navigate through this legal mine-field.

The consequences can be severe. If you are convicted of domestic violence, you could face jail time, fines, restitution, probation, counseling, and a criminal record for life. Furthermore, you can lose your rights to employment within governmental agencies and elsewhere, and lose your right to carry a handgun.

Attorney Mazza will offer you superior criminal defense for your domestic violence charge. Almost all of our domestic violence cases have resulted in extremely favorable conclusions, such as probation instead of prison.

If you have a domestic violence charge, please contact us at once!

Domestic violence and abuse is not limited to obvious physical violence. Domestic violence can also mean endangerment, criminal coercion, kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, trespassing, harassment, and stalking.
