Tustin Misdemeanors Lawyer
Experienced Legal Defense Against Misdemeanor Charges in Southern California
Many people who are charged with a misdemeanor crime in California make the mistake of assuming that because it is a misdemeanor, the punishments will be negligible. Nothing could be further from the truth. Even though misdemeanor crimes are punished less severely than felony crimes, the penalties will still have a serious impact on your life and the lives of your loved ones. Jail time, heavy fines, community service, mandatory counseling, and probation can seriously interfere with your life.

Understanding California Misdemeanor Charges
There are many crimes in the State of California that are considered “wobbler crimes,” and can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony based on the severity of the crime and the circumstances surrounding it. Over-aggressive prosecutors will often elevate a misdemeanor charge to a felony with little to no notice to you. The consequences of this action can be devastating.
Only an experienced, knowledgeable defense attorney will be able to anticipate this kind of move and protect you against it. In most cases, hiring an attorney for your misdemeanor charge is critical. In most cases, we will be able to appear on your behalf in court without you having to take time out of your day and without missing work. We will work hard to increase the chances that the charges against you will be dismissed or reduced, so you can continue living your life and enjoying your freedoms and rights as a California citizen.
You can’t afford to go to jail or carry around a permanent criminal record. You need someone who will fight aggressively on your behalf, and who will give you the legal edge you need to obtain the best possible outcome in your case. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.

He has so much knowledge because of his experience as a police officer, a prosecutor and a criminal defense lawyer. He literally knew what the other side was going to do before they even did it. On my case, he successfully got my DUI case dismissed in exchange for a plea to an infraction. His actions in the court room saved my freedom, my job and my professional license. Mr. Selyem took the time to listen to me and my concerns. He always made sure I understood what was going on throughout the entire process. Any time I called or text him he responded immediately. I would recommend Mr. Selyem to my family and friends any time!Jesse Gonzalez2023-04-03Joshua Vasco helped a relative of mine through a very dark and troubling experience and provided guidance, knowledge, and reassurance throughout the entire process. Mr. Vasco explained the process we were going through and answered all the questions we ever asked him. Having worked in the district attorney's office in San Bernardino County, it is obvious Mr. Vasco knows his way around the San Bernardino Courthouse as well is familiar with the players involved. Joshua's level of professionalism, kindness, and competence is off the charts and is someone I would rely on if I ever find myself in need of awesome legal representation. A call to Josh would be an absolute no-brainer for me for any legal need! Josh is the real Deal! Thank you, Mr. Vasco!!Shane HardWood2023-04-02Mr. Selyem responded quickly and professionally.

Thanks to his extensive knowledge of the law and his experience in trial he was able to get the murder charge dismissed by a 99.5 motion as well as time served for the remaining cases, with no probation or parole. Michael literally saved my life and as far as I'm concerned he is the best attorney out there.Roy2023-03-29Man..hands down Josh Visco is an amazing attorney.
