I have tried over 100 trials to verdict in state and federal courts and believe everyone deserves their day in court.
Prior to starting Kenney Legal Defense in 2012, I was a Senior Deputy Public Defender in Orange County, California, where I gained invaluable jury trial experience.

- Q. If I was arrested on a 530.5 what will happen
- A: It depends if the 530.5 charge was a felony or a misdemeanor and whether or not you have any prior convictions. It also depends what county and courthouse your case is filed in since the offers from the prosecutors vary from county to county. You should contact an attorney in the county your arrest occurred and he or she would be able to answer your question with more specifics.

If it's over $950, that would be a felony and the statute of limitations would be 3 years.
