Legal Help When You Make False Statements to Law Officers
Making false statements to law-enforcement officers is illegal and can be a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the circumstances of the incident. Though there is rarely a fully effective defense to the charge of making false statements, an experienced criminal defense attorney can often work successfully to lessen legal consequences.
Downplaying the incident can help. Often the accused has no prior record and was caught off-guard or panicked when making the false statement(s). By using character references from friends, teachers, bosses, and others, San Diego criminal attorneys can often successfully obtain leniency from district attorneys and judges.
If you have been accused of making a false statement to a law officer in California and have questions regarding your rights, the attorneys of The Law Offices of Kerry L. Armstrong, APLC, can help. We have handled dozens of cases involving false statements and have achieved numerous successful outcomes.
Our lawyer team includes two attorneys with over 18 years of combined experience. We have credibility and professional contacts throughout the justice system. We have honed our negotiating and persuasive skills through hundreds of plea bargains, probation violation hearings, and expungement processes, and can work diligently and effectively to mitigate the effects of false statements.
Experienced in Handling a Broad Range of False Statement Circumstances
We have handled false statement cases ranging from on-the-spot minor false statements to premeditated attempts to mislead law enforcement officials. For example:
- In a major case, our client was accused of 1) working with a friend to falsify a DNA test regarding paternity for his girlfriend's new child, and 2) of murdering his girlfriend and the baby.
- More often, we work with people who, for instance, give a false name in traffic incidents to avoid arrest.
In both felony and misdemeanor false statement cases, we can seek to disprove the allegation and, if necessary, argue for leniency and understanding. For more information regarding our firm and your rights following false statement charges, contact our firm.
