Q: What does "former prosecutor" mean for a defense case? A: Jared Jordan spent years inside the District Attorney's office making charging decisions, negotiating pleas, and trying jury cases. That means he understands exactly how the prosecution builds a file, which weaknesses matter, and where to attack, from the initial stop to the final closing argument. Q: How urgent is a DUI arrest?

Pure-federal capital or high-complexity indictment work is referred to trusted federal counsel when appropriate. Q: Can a criminal record be cleared? A: Often, yes. California offers multiple pathways, PC §1203.4 dismissal, arrest-record sealing under PC §851.91, felony-to-misdemeanor reduction under PC §17(b), and certificates of rehabilitation. The firm's Expungements and Record Sealing page walks through each pathway and the eligibility rules. --- ## 10.
