Penalties for Child Endangerment in Riverside

Inland Empire Domestic Violence Attorney Fighting for You

According to CA Penal Code §273(a), an individual is guilty of the criminal act of child endangerment when the child is placed in a dangerous situation or when he or she fails to provide protection for the child after allowing a dangerous situation to arise. This means that if you willfully inflict unjustifiable pain on a child, then you could be convicted of a crime that carries serious penalties. It is important to note that any individual under the age of 18 is considered a child in California. One key term in this law is "willfully". The prosecution must establish that the act was not an accident and that you willfully let these events happen.

If you are convicted of child endangerment, you could face informal or formal probation, up to one year in jail or up to 6 years in prison, fines, a retraining order, and other penalties. It is important that you have skilled legal assistance on your side in order to aggressively combat the allegations made against you.

"Wonderful Attorneys"
All of these good reviews are true! Excellent representation!! I unfortunately got the dreaded DUI case and Ty and his partner Yvonne analyzed the facts, guided me on the best direction I should take, guided me very well throughout the whole process, and always did exactly what they said they would do and when. You can never expect a miracle but you can't go wrong with the professional expertise and diligence that this firm gives. They are truly great attorneys. My case is still not decided yet but I am already satisfied no matter what the outcome as I know that I enlisted the help of true pros. Don't hesitate to hire them.

"Great Attorney!"
I was facing a felony domestic violence charge which carried serious jail time and would cost me my job but Ty was able to get it plead down to a misdemeanor and no jail time. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney.

"Case dismissed"
Facing a DUI and 2 counts Mr. Martinez was very helpful and left no page unturned. Nothing got overlooked. A DUI is stressful enough but, I had full confidence in his work. He is friendly, confident, thorough, and with his help the case was dropped. I had been unfairly accused on this case and he performed his duties with 100% accuracy. Very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Martinez to anyone in need of counsel.

"Yvonne is an excellent criminal defense lawyer"
I searched the internet and discover Tyrone R Martinez & Yvonne Todd. Very next day his partner Yvonne Todd met me at the court and she explained step by step, how we would approach the case and how she would handle. When my future is on the line, and being accused of child abuse, count 1 as felony and count 2 as misdemeanor, a criminal defense lawyer Yvonne Todd will be your rescue. Yvonne was with me every step of the way, from the beginning to the end. To make the long story short, we won the trial by unanimous jury decision on felony and misdemeanor case was hung and favor of us 7 to 5 jury decision. Eventually both cases were dismissed. I cannot even put into words how appreciative I am of her hard work and expertise. My deepest appreciations and gratitude for the outstanding work that Yvonne Todd has shown. She was very professional, prompt, and knowledgeable and handled my case with uppermost concern. I would strongly recommend Yvonne as your attorney any given day.

"Ty is very good"
Ty was recommended to me by a lawyer friend, and I have only the best things to say about my experience. I hired him to take care of a failure to appear I had that had turned into a warrant. I was very nervous, and put all of my faith in Ty. He was upfront and honest about the consequences I was facing, and he was completely honest about his fees. There were no hidden costs. Even though my case was probably not a big deal to him, Ty treated me as if I was very important, and was consistently in touch. Due to his skills, I was able to get a good deal, and I feel like I really have someone on my side. Ty is awesome and skilled. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone.

"He handled everything and was able to get charges down"
I had lots of mail come in after I was arrested. I was most comfortable with his correspondence and chose to go with him. He is extremely helpful via phone and emails and always returned them right away. I never met him until one of my court appearances. I would not even have to attend but he needed my paper work signed by a notary. He handled everything and was able to get charges down and community service. I have even passed out his business cards to some of my colleagues. I feel extremely confident with him and highly recommend him.

"Quick to respond and led me through every step of my process with ease."
Would just like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Martinez for their remarkable work. Quick to respond and led me through every step of my process with ease. Flexible on my payment plans and best of all had my sentence reduced. I highly recommend and thank you again.

"Case Dismissed"
2 months ago I was charged for domestic violence not for a misdemeanor but for a felony! I was scared because I didn't do anything to my girlfriend but leave the situation because we were having a heated argument. The neighbors called the cops for the yelling and the cops said I fled the scene so that's why I was tagged for a misdemeanor. I received plenty of letters in the mail for lawyers and called around. I was impressed with the way Ty Martinez was honest and straight up with me so I went with him and it was the best decision. He was able to get my case dismissed. I am very thankful for his help. He always kept me updated on what's going on. I never had a problem of getting a hold of him he always returned my call. He has a payment schedule that I was able to do. I would definitely hire Ty Martinez again if I needed a criminal attorney and definitely refer him to anyone who needs a good lawyer.
