Fish and Game Violations
Male clients in Newport Beach, Harbor Courthouse, July 2019.
Three men were fishing for lobster in Newport Beach without a proper fishing license while fishing on a stretch of the coastline where all fishing is prohibited. These were serious Fish and Game violations. Wardens from the Department of Fish and Wildlife cited all three men for misdemeanor violations. Each of the men were facing a criminal conviction for the first time in their lives. We were able to get the case against all three men dismissed in exchange for a donation to the Fish and Game Preservation Fund and each of them attending a one day class.
