SAN DIEGO CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY 619-550-4422  Criminal cases can carry serious consequences, including major restrictions on liberty like jail or prison. For many, incarceration, convictions, and arrests can get in the way of our livelihood. Most new hires undergo a background check, while many employees are subject to periodic background checks during employment, and some even have mandatory reporting rules to the employer and/or a professional licensing agency.
Missing work for jail time is only one of many ways that being arrested and charged with a crime can affect a person's employment or professional license status. If you or a loved one has been arrested and needs to get out of jail to get to work, the most effective way to do that quickly will probably be bail (more information about the bail process). However, getting out of jail is typically only the beginning of a long fight, where the government will be aggressively seeking a conviction, and your job or professional license may depend on avoiding a bad outcome in your case. In the same way that an experienced criminal defense attorney must consider collateral consequences in cases where a conviction might have immigration consequences, it is important to have an attorney who understands, and will fight for, an outcome that will not disrupt your way of life. If your job requires security clearance, or if you work with hospitals, schools, government buildings, If you have a professional license, you have made a significant commitment to a profession and want to make sure that one mistake (or even another mistake) will not cost you all that you have worked hard for. Protecting your license may also require you to defend your license against the Attorney General's office in administrative proceedings, but as far as the criminal case is concerned, you will need an experienced, dedicated criminal defense attorney on your side who understands the importance of protecting your livelihood and knows how to do it. If you are a licensed attorney, nurse, contractor, doctor, realtor, broker, beauty, or work in another profession requiring a license, you need to discuss this with your attorney to be sure that your defense places the right amount of emphasis on protecting your profession. Expunging prior convictions, reducing felonies to misdemeanors, and otherwise cleaning up a spotty past can really help a person re-enter the work force, enter for the first time, or advance to higher positions with better pay.
