Quick Answer

A criminal charge in California is classified as a misdemeanor (up to one year in county jail), a felony (state prison exposure exceeding one year), or an infraction (fine only) under Penal Code §17. Many offenses are "wobblers" — chargeable as either misdemeanor or felony at the prosecutor's discretion. The Fifth and Sixth Amendments guarantee the right to remain silent and the right to counsel before any custodial questioning. After an arrest in Fresno County, you face arraignment at Fresno County Superior Court within 48 business hours, where bail is set and you enter a plea. Crown Law Firm represents clients facing misdemeanor and felony charges throughout Fresno County, the Central Valley, and federal court in the Eastern District of California.

Key California Statutes Governing Criminal Cases

The statutory framework that controls charge classification, sentencing, and procedure in every Fresno County criminal case.

Penal Code §17

Felony / Misdemeanor / Infraction

Defines the three classes of California crimes by maximum punishment. Wobblers under PC §17(b) can be reduced from felony to misdemeanor by the court — a critical sentencing tool for first-time offenders.

Penal Code §1203.4

Expungement

Allows withdrawal of a guilty plea (or set-aside of a verdict) and case dismissal after successful completion of probation. Removes the conviction from most background checks though it remains visible to law enforcement.

Penal Code §1170

Determinate Sentencing

California uses a three-tier sentencing structure (lower, middle, upper term) for most felonies. SB 567 (2022) made the middle term presumptive — the upper term now requires aggravating-factor findings beyond a reasonable doubt or admission.

Penal Code §667 (Three Strikes)

Sentencing Enhancements

Prior "serious" or "violent" felony convictions double the sentence on a second strike and trigger 25-to-life on a third. Romero motions (People v. Superior Court) allow strikes to be dismissed in the interest of justice.

Penal Code §859b

Preliminary Hearing Right

Felony defendants are entitled to a preliminary hearing within 10 court days of arraignment to test whether the prosecution can establish probable cause. Strong motions at this stage can result in reduced or dismissed charges.

Penal Code §1538.5

Suppression Motion

Mechanism for excluding evidence obtained through unlawful search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment. Successful 1538.5 motions frequently result in case dismissal when the suppressed evidence was essential to the prosecution.

Criminal Defense Representation in Fresno County

When you are charged with a crime in Fresno County, the entire weight of the government's resources is arrayed against you. The Fresno County District Attorney's office employs dozens of prosecutors whose sole job is to secure convictions. Law enforcement agencies have investigators, forensic labs, and unlimited access to evidence gathering tools. Without an experienced criminal defense lawyer on your side, you are at a severe disadvantage.

Criminal defense representation is about leveling the playing field. An aggressive defense attorney conducts an independent investigation of the facts, identifies weaknesses in the prosecution's case, challenges improperly obtained evidence, and holds the government to its constitutional obligation to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Every person accused of a crime in Fresno County — whether charged with a misdemeanor, felony, or federal offense — deserves competent, aggressive representation.

Crown Law Firm provides that representation. Attorney Yan Shrayberman has defended clients in Fresno County Superior Court, Madera County Superior Court, Kings County Superior Court, and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. From the moment of arrest through trial and sentencing, we fight to protect your rights, your freedom, and your future. Every criminal case we handle receives the same level of attention, preparation, and commitment — because the stakes are always too high for anything less.

Whether you are facing your first criminal charge or have prior convictions that increase the potential penalties, Crown Law Firm is prepared to defend you. We handle cases involving DUI, drug crimes, violent offenses, sex crimes, white collar crimes, and federal charges. Call (559) 779-2315 to schedule a free consultation.

What Happens After an Arrest in Fresno

Understanding the criminal justice process in Fresno County helps you make informed decisions about your defense. The sooner you have a criminal defense lawyer involved, the stronger your position at each stage.

1

Arrest and Booking

After an arrest in Fresno County, you are transported to the Fresno County Jail for booking. This process includes fingerprinting, photographing, recording personal information, and running a criminal background check. Depending on the charges, you may be held until bail is posted or until your arraignment. California law requires that you be brought before a judge within 48 hours of arrest (excluding weekends and holidays). During this time, exercise your right to remain silent and request an attorney immediately. Do not make statements, sign documents, or consent to searches without legal representation.

2

Arraignment

The arraignment is your first appearance in Fresno County Superior Court. At arraignment, the judge reads the formal charges against you, advises you of your constitutional rights, and asks you to enter a plea of guilty, not guilty, or no contest. Bail may be set, modified, or you may be released on your own recognizance. Having a criminal defense attorney present at arraignment is critical — your lawyer can argue for reduced bail, challenge the sufficiency of the charges, and begin identifying weaknesses in the prosecution's case from day one. Crown Law Firm attends arraignments in both state and federal court.

3

Pretrial Phase

The pretrial phase is where the most critical defense work happens. Your attorney reviews the prosecution's evidence through the discovery process, identifies constitutional violations, files motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence (Penal Code 1538.5), and challenges the legal basis for the charges (Penal Code 995 motion). This phase also includes plea negotiations with the Fresno County District Attorney's office, where an experienced defense attorney can negotiate charge reductions, alternative sentencing, diversion programs, or outright dismissal. Many criminal cases in Fresno County are resolved during the pretrial phase without ever going to trial.

4

Resolution — Plea or Trial

Every criminal case ends in one of three ways: dismissal, negotiated plea agreement, or trial. If a fair resolution cannot be reached through negotiation, your case proceeds to trial before a judge or jury in Fresno County Superior Court or the Eastern District of California. Crown Law Firm has extensive trial experience and is fully prepared to present your defense in the courtroom. We select and question jurors, cross-examine prosecution witnesses, present defense evidence and expert testimony, and deliver compelling closing arguments. You always retain the final decision on whether to accept a plea offer or proceed to trial.

At every stage, having an experienced criminal defense attorney impacts the outcome. Whether you are facing a DUI charge, a drug crime allegation, a domestic violence accusation, or theft charges, Crown Law Firm is ready to defend you. After your case is resolved, we can also help you pursue expungement to clear your record.

State vs. Federal Prosecution — Stage by Stage

The same conduct can be charged in Fresno County Superior Court or federal court — and the process, deadlines, and stakes differ at every stage.

The Criminal Prosecution Process — California State Court vs. Federal Court, Step by StepTwo parallel vertical flows. California state: arrest and booking, District Attorney charging decision, arraignment within 48 hours of arrest for in-custody defendants under Penal Code section 825, bail or own-recognizance release, preliminary hearing for felonies within 10 court days under Penal Code section 859b, information filed, pretrial motions to dismiss under section 995 or suppress under section 1538.5, plea negotiation, jury trial within the section 1382 speedy-trial deadlines of 30, 45, or 60 days, then sentencing with broad judicial discretion. Federal: agency investigation, grand jury indictment under Criminal Rule 7, initial appearance without unnecessary delay under Rule 5, detention hearing under the Bail Reform Act at 18 U.S.C. 3142, arraignment under Rule 10, Rule 16 discovery, Rule 12 pretrial motions, plea or cooperation under Rule 11, trial within the 70-day Speedy Trial Act clock at 18 U.S.C. 3161, then presentence report and advisory Sentencing Guidelines sentencing under 18 U.S.C. 3553. Key differences: who charges, the probable-cause screen, pretrial release rules, plea practice, and sentencing discretion.

Our Criminal Defense Approach

Effective criminal defense is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Crown Law Firm builds a customized defense strategy for every case using a proven four-phase framework.

Independent Investigation

We never rely solely on law enforcement reports. Crown Law Firm conducts a thorough, independent investigation that includes reviewing police reports for inconsistencies and procedural errors, interviewing witnesses the police may have overlooked, examining physical and digital evidence, obtaining surveillance footage from businesses and public cameras, and consulting with forensic specialists, toxicologists, and other experts when the case requires it. Many cases are won or lost based on investigation quality — and our investigation starts the moment you hire us.

Pretrial Motions

Strategic pretrial motions are one of the most powerful tools in a criminal defense attorney's arsenal. We file motions to suppress evidence obtained through unlawful search and seizure (Penal Code 1538.5), motions to dismiss charges for lack of probable cause (Penal Code 995), motions to compel disclosure of exculpatory evidence the prosecution is withholding (Brady motions), and Pitchess motions to access law enforcement personnel records when officer misconduct is at issue. Successfully suppressing key evidence can result in charges being reduced or dismissed entirely.

Negotiation

Many criminal cases in Fresno County are resolved through negotiation rather than trial. Crown Law Firm negotiates from a position of strength, using the results of our investigation and pretrial motions to leverage the best possible outcome. We negotiate with the Fresno County District Attorney's office and federal prosecutors for charge reductions, alternative sentencing options, diversion programs, deferred entry of judgment, and complete case dismissals. Our reputation in the Fresno legal community and our relationships with prosecutors and judges strengthen our negotiating position on your behalf.

Trial Advocacy

When negotiation does not produce a just result, Crown Law Firm takes your case to trial. Attorney Yan Shrayberman has tried cases in Fresno County Superior Court and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. Trial preparation includes developing a compelling case theory, preparing direct and cross-examination outlines, retaining expert witnesses, creating demonstrative exhibits, and conducting thorough jury selection. We present your defense with clarity, precision, and the aggressive advocacy your case demands.

The California Criminal Trial Timeline

From arrest to sentencing — the statutory deadlines that protect you, and how trial scheduling actually works in Fresno County.

Typical California Criminal Trial Timeline — Statutory Deadlines (PC §§825, 859b, 1382, 1118.1, 1191)Time flows down a day-counter spine. Arrest starts a 48-hour clock to arraignment under Penal Code section 825. Arraignment is day zero: the misdemeanor speedy-trial clock starts. In felony cases an in-custody defendant is entitled to a preliminary hearing within 10 court days under section 859b, and arraignment on the information starts the felony 60-day clock. Section 1382 requires trial within 30 days for in-custody misdemeanors, 45 days out of custody, and 60 days for felonies, absent a waiver — but most defendants waive time, and Fresno County trials are then typically set 6 to 18 months out. Trial itself proceeds through motions in limine, voir dire, openings, the prosecution case, a section 1118.1 acquittal checkpoint, the defense case, closings, deliberations, and verdict. In felony cases judgment must be set within 20 judicial days under section 1191.The California Criminal Trial TimelineStatutory Deadlines From Arrest to Sentencing — and the Fresno County RealityHOUR 0Arrest & BookingPC §825 — the defendant must be brought before a judge without unnecessarydelay, and in any event within 48 hours of arrest, excluding Sundays and holidays.DAY 0Arraignment — Day 0: The Clock StartsCharges are formally read, a plea is entered, counsel is appointed, and bail orO.R. release is addressed.
