Carrying a Concealed Knife
Criminal Defense
Female client in Torrance Courthouse, August 2019.
Our client was charged with bringing a knife onto school grounds in violation of Penal Code section 626.10 as well as having marijuana at school. Both charges were misdemeanor criminal offenses. She was an 18 year-old senior in high school preparing to graduate. Our chief objective was to prevent her from getting a criminal record of conviction. We put together a compelling mitigation package and presented it to the prosecution. They agreed and reduced the case to an infraction (simple ticket). Thus, there is no criminal record of conviction.
