COIMBRA AND/OR HIS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, VENDORS, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVES IN ANY CAPACITY WHATSOEVER AND/OR COLLECTIVELY "SECOND CHANCES LAW GROUP, APC". THE WORDS AND/OR PHRASES "LETTER", "MAILER" , "MAILER TO WHICH THIS DISCLAIMER CORRESPONDS" AND "MAILER AND ENVELOPE TO WHICH THIS DISCLAIMER CORRESPONDS" SHALL BE USED INTERCHANGEABLY HEREIN. IF YOU CONTACT US VIA TEXT, STANDARD TEXT MESSAGE RATES MAY APPLY THROUGH YOUR PROVIDER AND/OR ANY OTHER ENTITY(IES). THE MAILER TO WHICH THIS DISCLAIMER CORRESPONDS IS MERELY TO NOTIFY YOU OF THE AVAILABILITY OF OUR LEGAL SERVICES AS NOTED ON THE FLYER (FOR ELIGIBLE PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS; ELIGIBILITY MUST BE DETERMINED (MORE BELOW)).
WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS LETTER ARRIVING AT YOUR ADDRESS. YOU RECEIVED THIS LETTER ONLY BECAUSE PUBLICLY-AVAILABLE RECORDS SHOW THAT YOUR RESIDENCE, EITHER CURRENTLY OR AT SOME POINT IN THE RECENT OR DISTANT PAST, HOUSED A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER, ALSO KNOWN AS A 290 REGISTRANT. AGAIN, OUR LETTER IS MERELY, EXCLUSIVELY AND SIMPLY A STATEMENT OF THE AVAILABILITY OF OUR SERVICES, NOTHING MORE. IF IT DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU, PLEASE MERELY DISREGARD AND/OR POLITELY CONTACT OUR OFFICE SO THAT YOU MAY BE REMOVED FROM OUR MAILING LIST. RUDE AND/OR ABUSIVE COMMUNICATIONS WILL BE CAREFULLY DOCUMENTED AND ANY CRIMINAL THREATS AND/OR HARASSMENT WILL BE SWIFTLY REPORTED TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.
FREE CONSULATION WITH ATTORNEY IS IN-PERSON ONLY. HOWEVER, PRIOR THERETO, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO ANSWER A SERIES OF QUESTIONS BY OUR INTAKE PERSONNEL TO BETTER ASSIST IN OUR UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR CASE. YOUR APPOINTMENT, IF ANY IS MADE, WILL BE CANCELLED IF YOU FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THIS OVER-THE-PHONE INTAKE. NONE OF THE VERBIAGE, EXPRESSIONS, WORDS, PHRASES, INSIGNIA AND/OR CHARACTERS OF ANY KIND ARE IN AND OF THEMSELVES, OR IN THEIR COMBINED USE, INTENDED TO MISLEAD ANYONE NOR ESTABLISH ANY ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP NOR IMPART ANY LEGAL ADVICE NOR ANY GUARANTEE, WARRANTY NOR PROMISE OF ANY PARTICULAR OUTCOME, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO A "POSITIVE" OUTCOME WHATSOEVER.
NO GUARANTEE, IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY, PROMISE, ASSURANCE, AND/OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY PARTICULAR OUTCOME, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO A "POSITIVE" OR OTHER DESIRED OUTCOME, IS CONVEYED WHATSOEVER IN OUR LETTER (NOR IN ANY OTHER COMMUNICATION OR CONVEYANCE IN ANY FORMAT DISSEMINATED OR ESTABLISHED AT ANY TIME). NO ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP IS ESTABLISHED BY YOUR RECEIPT OF OUR COMMUNICATION; IN FACT, A SEPARATE ATTORNEY-CLIENT AGREEMENT AND REMITTAL OF REMUNERATION TO ATTORNEY (IN AN AMOUNT SATISFACTORY TO ATTORNEY) ARE REQUIRED BEFORE ANY ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP CAN OR MAY BE FORMED, CREATED, COMMENCED AND/OR ESTABLISHED. REMOVAL OR EXCLUSION FROM ANY WEBSITE (INCLUDING CALIFORNIA’S MEGAN’S LAW WEBSITE DOES NOT RELIEVE OF THE DUTY TO REGISTER AS A SEX OFFENDER PURSUANT TO PENAL CODE SECTION 290 OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW.
IF YOU RECEIVED OUR LETTER IN TITLED “ARE YOU READY FOR COUNTDOWN TO DESTINY?“, PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LEGAL WORK THAT IS REFERENCED OR ALLUDED TO IN THE LETTER PRESUPPOSES THAT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY WILL OPPOSE YOUR PETITION TO TERMINATE YOUR DUTY TO REGISTER AS A SEX OFFENDER. IN OTHER WORDS, OUR LETTER OPERATES UNDER THAT REASONABLE ASSUMPTION. IT IS CONCEIVABLE THAT PROSECUTORS MAY ALLOW CERTAIN PETITIONS TO GO UNOPPOSED, IN WHICH CASE, MUCH OF THE LEGAL WORK THAT IS REFERENCED OR ALLUDED TO IN THE LETTER (I.E., “PREPARATION”) WOULD NOT BE NECESSARY. OUR LETTER IS MERELY TO INDICATE THAT OUR FIRM MAY BE AVAILABLE TO REPRESENT YOU IN THE PREPARATORY STAGES TO HELP ESTABLISH COMMUNITY SAFETY FACTORS IN THE EVENT YOUR PETITION IS OPPOSED BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
IF YOU RECEIVED OUR LETTER THAT CONTAINS THIS LANGUAGE: "THERE WILL BE A BREATHTAKING AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WILL NEED TO HAPPEN IN ANTICIPATION OF THE NEW LAW TAKING EFFECT IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER PRIOR CONVICTIONS, CHARGES, CITATIONS, ARRESTS (FAILURE TO REGISTER AND EVEN NON-SEX CRIME CONVICTIONS LIKE DUI, DRUG CONVICTION, DOMESTIC BATTERY, THEFT, ET CETERA), WHICH MEANS, THE TIME IS NOW TO BEGIN CLEANING UP YOUR ENTIRE RECORD TO THE DEGREE POSSIBLE. IN FACT, YOUR PETITION FOR TERMINATION FROM YOUR DUTY TO REGISTER AS A SEX OFFENDER WILL LIKELY BE DEAD ON ARRIVAL -- FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING -- UNLESS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY ESTABLISH AN OVERALL PATTERN OF LAWFUL BEHAVIOR AND POSITIVE, LAW-ABIDING 'POST-CONVICTION CONDUCT,' AMONG ALL THE OTHER ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA!" OR SIMILAR LANGUAGE. PLEASE KNOW THAT THIS IS ATTORNEY'S REASONABLE AND GOOD FAITH INTERPRETATION OF WHAT HE BELIEVES, BASED ON HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE RELEVANT STATUTE (AS IT READS AS OF THE TIME OF THE LETTER WAS WRITTEN) THE COURTS WILL REQUIRE OR WANT TO SEE BEFORE GRANTING REGISTRY REMOVAL. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL ADVICE OF ANY KIND. NOR DOES ATTORNEY STATE THAT THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE NECESSARILY AND SPECIFICALLY EXPRESSLY STATED IN THE FOREGOING WORDS WITHIN THE RELEVANT STATUTE. RATHER, THIS IS ATTORNEY'S SUBJECTIVE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT HE BELIEVES WILL, AT MINIMUM, BE PRODUCTIVE IN HELPING TO ADVANCE A SUCCESSFUL PETITION FOR TIERED REGISTRY REMOVAL THROUGH THE COURTS. ATTORNEY IS NOT MAKING ANY REFERENCE TO REPRESENTING YOU WITH THE PETITION FOR REMOVAL FROM THE REGISTRY BECAUSE SUCH PETITION HAS NOT YET BEEN RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC AS OF THE TIME OF THIS WRITING. HE IS, INSTEAD, MAKING REFERENCE TO WHAT HE BELIEVES WILL BE THE ANTICIPATORY STEPS THAT MAY HELP OPTIMIZE YOUR CHANCES OF ADVANCING A COMPELLING PETITION IN THE COURTS, NOTHING MORE. ATTORNEY IS TO BE HELD UTTERLY BLAMELESS SHOULD THESE REQUIREMENTS BE INTERPRETED OTHERWISE BY ANY OTHER SOURCES AT ANY TIME GIVEN HIS OWN SUBJECTIVE BUT GOOD FAITH UNDERSTANDING OF THE RELEVANT STATUTE AT THIS TIME.
"SITTING IDLY BY = DISASTER" IS SIMPLY MEANT TO CONVEY ATTORNEY'S REASONABLY OBJECTIVE AND GOOD FAITH BELIEF THAT INACTION, I.E., FAILURE TO, AT MINIMUM, EXPLORE POTENTIAL AVENUES OF RELIEF BY WHICH TO CHALLENGE ONE'S PC290 REGISTRATION STATUS AND/OR RELATED CONSEQUENCES, SUCH AS ONLINE VISIBILITY VIA MEGAN'S LAW WEBSITE, COULD LEAD TO FOREGOING POTENTIAL LEGAL REMEDIES WHICH OR MAY NOT CHANGE. ATTORNEY HARBORS THE OBJECTIVELY REASONABLE GOOD FAITH BELIEF THAT THE AREA OF THE LAW APPLICABLE TO PENAL CODE 290 LIFETIME REGISTRATION AND RELATED PENALTIES AND ISSUES IS AMENABLE TO REVISION BY JUDICIARY, LEGISLATURE AND/OR EXECUTIVE BRANCHES LARGELY ON ACCOUNT OF POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND, THEREFORE, BELIEVES IT TO BE PRUDENT TO ADDRESS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE BURDENED BY PC290 AND ITS RELATED LEGAL HANDICAPS AND ENCUMBRANCES. THE PHRASE "BEFORE ITS TOO LATE" MERELY ALLUDES TO THE FORESEEABLE AND UNFORESEEABLE ISSUES, EVENTS, REVISIONS IN CASE AND/OR STATUTORY LAW AND/OR OTHER PHENOMENA THAT MAY ARISE AT ANY TIME WHICH MAY, AT MINIMUM, CREATE OBSTACLES OR DILATORY IMPASSES TO ONE'S ABILITY TO CHALLENGE PENAL CODE 290 LIFETIME REGISTRATIO AND/OR RELATED AND/OR CONSEQUENTIAL LEGAL ENCUMBRANCES.
ATTORNEY HARBORS THE OBJECTIVELY REASONABLE GOOD FAITH BELIEF THAT ATTORNEY IS SUFFICIENTLY A "DEDICATED SEX CRIMES DEFENSE LAW FIRM" GIVEN THE GENERALLY PONDEROUS VOLUME OF SEX CRIMES CASES WHICH ATTORNEY HAS REPRESENTED. "DEDICATED SEX CRIMES DEFENSE LAW FIRM" IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM IS INTENDED TO ALLUDE, REFERENCE, CONVEY AND/OR COMMUNICATE THAT ATTORNEY IS POSSESSED OF ANY PARTICULARIZED EXPERTISE (I.E., CREDENTIALING FROM BOARD OF SPECIALIZATION), BUT, RATHER, MERELY AN ALLUSION TO A GENERALLY HIGH VOLUME OF SEX CRIMES DEFENDANTS WHICH ATTORNEY REPRESENTED IN VARIOUS STAGES OF CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS. "STOPPING LIFETIME SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION" IS MERELY INTENDED TO INDICATE THAT ATTORNEY HARBORS THE OBJECTIVELY REASONABLE GOOD FAITH BELIEF THAT ATTORNEY'S INVOLVEMENT AS CRIMINAL DEFENSE COUNSEL LIKELY PREVENTED OR PRECLUDED LIFETIME SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION STATUS FROM BECOMING A TERM OF DEFENDANTS' SENTENCES IN CASES IN WHICH ATTORNEY REPRESENTED DEFENDANTS AT THE PREARRAIGNMENT STAGE AND IN CASES WHERE DEFENDANT(S) WERE FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES IN OPEN COURT. THE INCLUSION OF "SUCCESS STORIES" IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A GUARANTEE, NOR ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY, NOR IN ANY WAY PROMISE OR ASSURE RESULTS BY WAY OF ANALOGY OR PAST EXAMPLE. EVERY CASE IS GENERALLY RADICALLY DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER AND IS POSSESSED OF IDIOSYNCRACIES THAT MAY CALL FOR VERY DIFFERENT REMEDIES OR APPROACHES.
THE WORDS "URGENT" AND/OR "EMERGENCY" AS IN "URGENT LAW FIRM NEWSLETTER" AND/OR "EMERGENCY LAW FIRM NEWSLETTER" APPEARS MERELY TO INDICATE THE HIGH URGENCY THAT ATTORNEY BELIEVES EXISTS WHENEVER CRIMINAL ACCUSATION(S), ALLEGATION(S), INVESTIGATION(S), CONVICTION(S), AND/OR POST-CONVICTION BURDENS SUCH AS LIFETIME PC290 REGISTRATION AND/OR PROBATION (AND/OR ANY OTHER EVENT(S) AT ANY STAGE(S) OF ANY PROCESS RELATING TO CRIMINAL AND/OR PENAL CODE VIOLATION(S) AND/OR ANY OTHER VIOLATIONS OF LOCAL AND/OR STATE AND/OR FEDERAL CODE(S), LAW(S), REGULATION(S), RULE(S), STATUTE(S), ETC.) ARE INVOLVED CONSIDERING THE POTENTIAL HARSHNESS PENALTY/IES, PUNISHMENT(S), POSSIBLE INCARCERATION AND/OR IMPRISONMENT AND/OR LOSS OF FREEDOM AND/OR OTHER ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES ON CERTAIN RIGHTS AND/OR PRIVILEGES SUCH AS BUT NOT LIMITED TO INCARCERATION AND/OR IMPRISONMENT AND/OR PAROLE AND/OR PROBATION AND/OR VIOLATION OF PROBATION ASSOCIATED WITH A CRIMINAL ACCUSATION OR CONVICTION THAT DOES NOT GO ADDRESSED BY COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL; IN OTHER WORDS, ATTORNEY REASONABLY AND IN GOOD FAITH BELIEVES THAT ANY CRIMINAL MATTER IS, BY DEFINITION AND/OR IN EFFECT, AN URGENT AND/OR EMERGENCY SITUATION CONSIDERING THE RAPIDITY, VIGOR AND DISCIPLINE WITH WHICH LOCAL AND/OR STATE AND/OR FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT MAY PURSUE PROSECUTIONS, PROBATION VIOLATIONS AND OR ANY OTHER ADVERSE LAW ENFORCEMENT AND/OR PROSECUTORIAL ACTION AT ANY STAGE, THUS NECESSITATING AN URGENT AND/OR EMERGENCY RESPONSE BY COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL. IN OTHER WORDS, NEGLECTING SUCH PROSPECTIVE AND/OR ACTUALIZED LEGAL EVENTS MAY BE CATASTROPHIC OR AT LEAST DETRIMENTAL TO THE PERSON(S) WHO IS/ARE THE SUBJECT OF PENAL CODE 290 REGISTRATION AND/OR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION AND/OR ARREST AND/OR PROBATION VIOLATION AND/OR PROSECUTION AND/OR ANY OTHER INTERACTION WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. THEREFORE, IT IS AMPLY AND OBJECTIVELY FAIR TO LABEL ATTORNEY'S LETTER AN "URGENT LAW FIRM NEWSLETTER" AND/OR "EMERGENCY LAW FIRM NEWSLETTER".
TO RECEIVE DISCOUNT, YOU MUST PRODUCE THIS MAILER AND ENVELOPE TO WHICH THIS DISCLAIMER CORRESPONDS (NO REPRODUCTIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED ). THE WORDS "DISCOUNT" AND "VOUCHER CODE" ARE INTERCHANGEABLE AND NOT SEPARATE AND DISTINCT. THE INVOCATION OF THE VOUCHER CODE IS INSUFFICIENT; LETTER RECEIVED BY RECIPIENT WITH ENVELOPE MUST BE PRODUCED TO ATTORNEY. DISCOUNTS CANNOT BE USED IN COMBINATION. ONE DISCOUNT PER CLIENT AND PER CASE ONLY. DISCOUNT USEABLE AGAINST THE ENTIRE FEE ONLY AND NOT TOWARDS THE DEPOSIT, MONTHLY INSTALLMENTS OR ANY OTHER FRAGMENTS OR FRACTIONS CONTAINED IN THE TOTAL FEE, NOR AGAINST ANY COST REIMBURSEMENTS. ATTORNEY IS NOT UNDER ANY OBLIGATION TO HONOR THE DISCOUNT, NOR VOUCHER CODE; ATTORNEY IS FREE TO SET ANY LIMITATION HE CHOOSES AT ANY TIME, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO REFUSAL TO HONOR ANY DISCOUNT OR VOUCHER CODE.
BY CONTACTING OUR OFFICE IN ANY WAY (EITHER YOURSELF OR ANY THIRD PARTY ACTING ON YOUR BEHALF WHATSOEVER), YOU AGREE TO FOLLOWING: BINDING ARBITRATION (IN LA COUNTY), WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL, WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, WAIVER OF PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTIONS AND/OR ANY OTHER PROCEEDING WHERE SOMEONE ACTS IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, AND PAYMENT OF ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COSTS TO ATTORNEY IN EVENT OF DISPUTE ARISING FROM THIS OR ANY CORRESPONDENCE FROM OUR FIRM OR ANY SUBJECT MATTER WHATSOEVER AND CONSENT TO RECEIVING FUTURE COMMUNICATIONS FROM OUR OFFICE IN ANY FORMAT WHATSOEVER.
IF ANY ASPECT(S), TERM(S), CLAUSE(S), PROVISION(S), WORD(S), PHRASE(S), CONVEYANCE(S), ETC., WHATSOEVER ARE HELD TO BE UNENFORCEABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH TERM WILL BE MODIFIED SO THAT IT IS ENFORCEABLE TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, AND ALL THE OTHER TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT WILL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. IF THE UNENFORCEABLE ASPECT(S), TERM(S), CLAUSE(S), PROVISION(S), WORD(S), PHRASE(S), CONVEYANCE(S), ETC. IS DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH ASPECT(S), TERM(S), CLAUSE(S), PROVISION(S), WORD(S), PHRASE(S), CONVEYANCE(S), ETC. WILL BE MODIFIED SO THAT IT IS ENFORCEABLE TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, AND ALL THE OTHER TERMS OF THIS DISCLAIMER WILL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. IF THE UNENFORCEABLE ASPECT(S), TERM(S), CLAUSE(S), PROVISION(S), WORD(S), PHRASE(S), CONVEYANCE(S), ETC. CANNOT BE SO MODIFIED, SUCH ASPECT(S), TERM(S), CLAUSE(S), PROVISION(S), WORD(S), PHRASE(S), CONVEYANCE(S), ETC. WILL BE EXCLUDED FROM THIS DISCLAIMER AND ALL OTHER ASPECT(S), TERM(S), CLAUSE(S), PROVISION(S), WORD(S), PHRASE(S), CONVEYANCE(S), ETC. WILL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.
WE DO NOT REPRESENT THAT WE HAVE FULL-TIME FACILITY/IES IN YOUR SPECIFIC CITY, LOCALE OR PROXIMITY. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OUR HEADQUARTERS, REGIONAL OFFICES, IF ANY AVAILABLE IN YOUR CITY, LOCALE OR PROXIMITY, ARE CONSULTATIVE ONLY AND ARE NOT FULL-TIME OCCUPANCIES (NEITHER DO WE REPRESENT EITHER IMPLICITLY OR EXPRESSLY THAT THEY ARE ANYTHING EXCEPT CONSULTATIVE FACILITIES, IF ANY); JUXTAPOSITION OF CITY AND 'LAW FIRM' AND/OR 'LAW OFFICE' AND/OR WORD(S) AND/OR PHRASE(S) OF SIMILAR IMPORT ON ENVELOPE IS SIMPLY MEANT TO ILLUSTRATE THE GENERAL AND POSSIBLE AVAILABILITY OF OUR SERVICES TO RESIDENTS AND/OR DOMICILIARIES AND/OR OCCUPANTS OF AND/OR PERSON(S) AND/OR ENTITY/IES WHO DO BUSINESS OR ARE EMPLOYED IN THE NAMED CITY/IES, INCLUDING CITY WHERE YOU LIVE, NOT TO CONVEY WE HAVE A FULL-TIME OR EVEN A PART-TIME OFFICE IN YOUR CITY, LOCALE OR PROXIMITY.
WE STRIVE FOR ACCURACY; ANY INACCURACY/IES IN THIS LETTER AND/OR IN ANY OF OUR PROMOTIONAL OR ANY MATERIAL(S) IN ANY FORMAT WHATSOEVER IS/ARE PURELY INADVERTENT. SERVICES ARE NOT FREE. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE A CONSULTATION TO ANYBODY FOR ANY REASON. ATTORNEY CONDUCTS BUSINESS IN ONLY THE VERY HIGHEST OF FAIR DEALINGS, INTEGRITY, TRUTHFULNESS AND HONESTY AND NOTHING IN THIS LETTER (NOR IN ANY OF OUR MATERIALS IN ANY FORMAT WHATSOEVER) IS INTENDED TO BE ANYTHING EXCEPT COMPLETELY TRUTHFUL, HONEST, UPRIGHT AND ETHICAL. WE ALSO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SUMMARILY CANCEL ANY EXISTING APPOINTMENT AT ANY TIME. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT NOT TO RESPOND TO ANY COMMUNICATION CONVEYED TO ATTORNEY IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM AND FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER. ATTORNEY ALONE DECIDES SUBJECT MATTER, LENGTH AND CONTENT OF YOUR FREE CONSULTATION. NOTHING IN THIS LETTER NOR IN ANY OF OUR PROMOTIONAL LITERATURE ESTABLISHES ANY ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP WHATSOEVER, NOR DOES IT CONVEY ANY LEGAL ADVICE NOR ANY GUARANTEE, IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY, ASSURANCE, PROMISE AND/OR ELIGIBILITY FOR ANY PARTICULAR TYPE OF LEGAL RELIEF WHATSOEVER NOR ANY GUARANTEE, IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY, ASSURANCE AND/OR PROMISE OF ANY POSITIVE, DESIRED OR PARTICULARIZED OUTCOME WHATSOEVER. NOTHING IN THIS LETTER (BE IT PROMOTIONAL VERBIAGE, PAST SUCCESS, REVIEWS, TESTIMONIALS, AWARDS OR ANYTHING ELSE) IS MEANT TO IMPLICITLY OR EXPRESSLY CONVEY THAT WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL WITH YOUR CASE. EACH CASE IS DIFFERENT; RESULTS MAY VARY. WE DO NOT REPRESENT YOUR "FREE CONSULTATION" IS ANYTHING EXCEPT A FREE, INITIAL IN-PERSON CONSULTATION WITH THE ATTORNEY.
ALL CONTENT IS INTENDED TO BE HONEST, TRANSPARENT AND ACCURATE. ANY LANGUAGE IN ANY OF OUR LITERATURE AND IN ANY FORMAT THAT MAY APPEAR HYPERBOLIC IS INTENDED MERELY TO CALL ATTENTION TO THE UNVERSALLY-KNOWN GRAVITY OF LIFETIME SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION AS WELL AS ANY POTENTIAL "SEA CHANGES IN THE LEGAL WATERS" WHEN IT COMES TO PC290 REGISTRATION AND APPLICABLE LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL LAW AND NEVER TO MISLEAD, MISCHARACTERIZE OR MISREPRESENT IN ANY FASHION WHATSOEVER.
"CLEAN UP YOUR RECORD" OR WORDS OF SIMILAR VERBIAGE AND/OR IMPORT ARE INTENDED EXCLUSIVELY TO BE FIGURATIVE AND NOT LITERAL. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LITERALLY CLEANING UP A RECORD; "CLEANING UP ONE'S RECORD" IS GENERALLY RECOGNIZED, UTILIZED AND ACCEPTED PARLANCE OF THE CRIMINAL DEFENSE TRADE AND IS LARGELY METAPHORICAL OR ANALOGICAL. THE INCLUSION OF THIS PHRASE IS NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM, INTENDED TO MISLEAD THE READER BUT MERELY TO CALL THE READER'S ATTENTION AS TO THE SERVICES WE HAVE AVAILABLE, I.E., EXPUNGEMENT(S), MOTION TO TERMINATE PROBATION EARLY, MOTION TO REDUCE FROM FELONY TO MISDEAMOR.
SB384, ALSO KNOWN AS THE TIERED REGISTRY LAW, IS SLATED TO TAKE EFFECT IN OR ABOUT YEAR 2021; NOTHING IN ANY OF OUR MATERIALS IS INTENDED NOR SHOULD BE CONSTRUED TO EITHER IMPLIEDLY OR EXPRESSLY CONVEY THAT THE LAW IS SLATED TO TAKE EFFECT ANY SOONER. ATTORNEY IS MERELY OFFERING THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPRESENT REGISTERED PERSONS WITH SERVICES WHICH MAY HELP "EASE THE PATH" TOWARD A POTENTIALLY POSITIVE LEGAL OUTCOME IN THE FUTURE, PARTICULARLY WITH RESPECT TO EXPUNGEMENTS, REDUCTION FROM FELONY TO MISDEMEANOR AS WELL AS ANY OTHER REMEDIES GENERALLY ASSOCIATED WITH "RECORD CLEAN UP" (WITHIN THE AFOREMENTIONED LIMITATIONS).
"UNANIMOUSLY FIVE STAR" REVIEWS DENOTES ONLY THOSE REVIEWS ON OUR WEBSITE; PLEASE BE MADE AWARE WE MAY HAVE REVIEWS THAT ARE NOT FIVE STARS ON OTHER PLATFORMS. "VIEW OUR AMAZING CASE RESULTS" IS BY NO MEANS ANY EXPRESSION OF A GUARANTEE, WARRANTY OF ANY COMPARABLE RESULT IN YOUR PARTICULAR CASE. "AMAZING" IS A FIGURATIVE AND SUBJECTIVE STATEMENT OF OPINION ONLY AND IS NOT MEANT TO CONVEY ANY PROMISE, WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL OBTAIN A COMPARABLE OR SIMILAR RESULT, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT EACH CASE AND ITS ATTENDANT FACTS, COMPLEXITIES AND AVAILABLE REMEDIES CARRY ITS OWN VASTLY UNIQUE, DISTINCT COMPONENTS, REMEDIES, VARIABLES, FACTORS, NUANCES, SUBTLETIES, IDIOSYNRACIES, FACTUAL BACKGROUNDS, FACT PATTERNS, ETC. "TRUSTED" BADGE MERELY DENOTES ATTORNEY'S PERSONAL BELIEF THAT HE IS AN HONEST, ETHICAL AND MORALLY- AND LEGALLY-UPRIGHT IN ALL OF HIS PERSONAL AND BUSINESS DEALINGS, CUSTOMS, HABITS, AND INTERACTIONS WITH HIS CLIENTS AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND GENERAL BELIEF IN HIS OWN TRUSTWORTHINESS; IT DOES NOT DENOTE ANY OBJECTIVE, THIRD-PARTY OFFICIAL COMMENDATION, LABEL OR DESIGNATION GRANTED UPON HIM BY ANY ORGANIZATION, INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY PER SE. ANY EXCERPT QUOTED FROM THE LANGUAGE OF SB384 IS BASED ON ATTORNEY'S OBJECTIVELY REASONABLE GOOD FAITH BELIEF, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE TEXT AND IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM IS INTENDED TO BE A PARTICULARIZED APPLICATION OF THE LAW TO YOUR SITUATION BUT, RATHER, A GENERAL INTERPRETATION ONLY. MOREOVER, IT IS THE TEXT AS IT APPEAR(S/ED) AT OR ABOUT THE TIME OF THE PREPERATION OF PROMOTIONAL LITERATURE TO WHICH THIS DISCLAIMER CORRESPONDS AND ATTORNEY CANNOT WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE THAT SAID LANGUAGE MAY OR MAY NOT BE CHANGED, REVISED OR ALTERED BY THE GOVERNING ENTITY/IES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE, WHICH WOULD BE AN EVENTUALITY SO UTTERLY OUTSIDE OF ATTORNEY'S CONTROL.
IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM IS THE OPTION CONCERNING EXPUNGEMENT MEANT TO INDICATE THAT AN EXPUNGEMENT ALONE WOULD TERMINATE YOUR LIFETIME SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION, OR THAT ANY OTHER PARTICULAR FORM OF RELIEF WOULD NECESSARILY HAVE THE SAME EFFECT (UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPLICITLY PROVIDED BY LAW THAT A PARTICULAR REMEDY OR COMBINATION OF REMEDIES WOULD HAVE THE EFFECT OF IPSO FACTO TERMINATING YOUR LIFETIME SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION AND/OR MEGAN'S PROFILE). ELIGIBILITY MUST FIRST BE DETERMINED AND THE INCLUSION OF CERTAIN REMEDIES IDENTIFIED IN OUR CORRESPONDENCE IS NOT INTENDED TO CONVEY THAT ANY SPECIFIC REMEDY IS NECESSARILY THE METAPHORICAL "SILVER BULLET" THAT WOULD STOP REGISTRATION; INSTEAD, THEIR INCLUSION MAY, IN CERTAIN INSTANCES, INDICATE THAT SUCH REMEDIES MAY BE CONDITIONS PRECEDENT FOR MORE DIRECT WAYS OF CHALLENGING LIFETIME SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION, E.G., GENERALLY, AN EXPUNGEMENT IS REQUIRED FOR YOU TO FILE A PETITION FOR CERTIFICATE OF REHABILITATION.
ANY INDICATION OF A SENIOR CITIZEN DISCOUNT OR SENIOR DISCOUNT IS TO CONVEY THE POSSIBILITY (NOT GUARANTEE, ASSURANCE, IMPLIED OR EXPRESSED WARRANTY OR ANY EXPRESSION OF CERTAINTY) CONCERNING THE ATTORNEY GRANTING A DISCOUNT. ATTORNEY EXCLUSIVELY HAS THE RIGHT TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT OF THE DISCOUNT IF ANY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERCENTAGE. NOBODY IS ENTITLED IPSO FACTO TO ANY DISCOUNT. ATTORNEY, IN HIS MAGNANIMITY, IS OPEN ONLY TO THE POSSIBILITY OF EXTENDING A DISCOUNT, NOTABLY HERE, TO SENIOR CITIZENS. TO BE CONSIDERED/TO QUALIFY FOR A SENIOR DISCOUNT, YOU MUST BE 65 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AND YOU MUST PRESENT PROPER CALIFORNIA-ISSUED IDENTIFICATION, SUCH AS A CALIFORNIA DRIVERS LICENSE. ATTORNEY HAS EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF THE DISCOUNT AND IT’S APPLICABILITY. FOR EXAMPLE, A 5% DISCOUNT WILL ONLY APPLY AGAINST THE TOTAL FEE IF WHOLE FEE IS PAID UPFRONT OR THE DEPOSIT ONLY IF AN INSTALLMENT PLAN. MOREOVER, IF ANY DISCOUNT IS EXTENDED AT ALL, ATTORNEY POSSESSES THE UNCONDITIONAL AND UNENCUMBERED RIGHT TO LIMIT IT IN ANYWAY HE CHOOSES, FOR EXAMPLE, ATTACHING IT EXCLUSIVELY TO HIRING AT YOUR FIRST CONSULTATION, IF HE CHOOSES TO DO SO IN THE FIRST PLACE..
ANY BADGE, LOGO, INSIGNIA OR ANY OTHER VISUAL REPRESENTATION CONCERNING “BEST PRICE”, “BEST QUALITY”, BEST CHOICE” IS AN EXPRESSION OF SUBJECTIVE OPINION ONLY AND IS IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM BEING ISSUED TO CONVEY ANY OBJECTIVELY MEASURABLE STANDARD OF WHAT “BEST” CONSTITUTES. BY DEFINITION, SUCH DESIGNATION IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. SUCH INSIGNIA, WORDS, BADGES OR VISUAL REPRESENTATIONS ARE COMMON PARLANCE IN ANY, MOST OR ALL SALES SITUATIONS AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO REPRESENT ANY ASSURANCE, WARRANTY, IMPLIED OR EXPRESSED, GUARANTEE OR ANY OTHER INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH ANY REASONABLE RELIANCE CAN BE PLACED.
REGARDING FLYER ENTITLED: “WHY ARE YOU STILL ON PROBATION?”
WHILE THE LETTER SPEAKS TO THOSE RECIPIENTS WHO MAY BE ON PROBATION, THE LETTER IS INTENDED FOR A BROADER AUDIENCE RATHER THAN SOLELY THOSE ON PROBATION. HENCE THE REASON THE ALTERNATIVE QUESTION APPEARS: “OR, IF YOU ARE NOT ON PROBATION…?”
THIS FLYER IS NOT INTENDED TO COMMUNICATE THAT YOU CAN ACT SPECIFICALLY ON A PETITION FOR REMOVAL UNDER THE NEW TIERED REGISTRY LAW AT THE TIME OF THE PREPARATION OF THIS FLYER. IT IS WIDELY KNOWN THAT THE TIERED REGISTRY LAW IS TO TAKE EFFECT IN OR ABOUT YEAR 2021, NOT SOONER. TO THAT END, HOWEVER, WE ARE SIMPLY COMMUNICATING THE AVAILABILITY OF OUR SERVICES, I.E., EXPUNGEMENTS, REDUCTIONS FROM FELONY TO MISDEMEANOR, AND OTHER TYPES OF LEGAL SERVICES GENERALLY ASSOCIATED WITH “POST-CONVICTION”. A REASONABLE INTERPRETATION AND/OR INFERENCE OF THE LANGUAGE THAT APPEARS IN THE STATUTE (IN PERTINENT PART), THAT THE COURT WILL CONSIDER “CRIMINAL AND RELEVANT NON-CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR… BEFORE AND AFTER THE CONVICTION FOR THE REGISTRABLE OFFENSE” IS THAT IT WOULD BE ASTUTE AND WISE TO ATTEMPT TO AMELIORATE THE GRAVITY OF ONE’S CRIMINAL RECORD, INCLUDING NON-SEX CRIME CONVICTIONS BY VIRTUE OF THE ABOVE-LISTED (THOUGH NOT EXHAUSTIVE) “POST-CONVICTION” REMEDIES.
AGAIN, NO LANGUAGE ON THIS OR ANY OF OUR OTHER PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS IN ANY FORMAT WHATSOEVER IS TO BE CONSTRUED THAT WE CAN ASSIST YOU AT THIS CURRENT TIME WITH ATTEMPTING TO PURSUE REMOVAL FROM THE REGISTRY BY VIRTUE OF THE NEW TIERED REGISTRY LAW. INSTEAD, WE ARE INTERESTED IN ASSISTING QUALIFIED PERSONS IN SEEKING OTHER MEANS OF RELIEF THAT MAY NOW BE AVAILABLE, IF ANY. ATTORNEY HARBORS THE OBJECTIVELY REASONABLE GOOD FAITH BELIEF THAT MITIGATING ONE’S CRIMINAL RECORD MAY ASSIST IN PETITIONING THE COURT FROM REMOVAL FROM THE LIFETIME REGISTRY IN OR AFTER 2021, SPECIFICALLY AS INDICATED IN THE ABOVE EXCERPT OF SB384.
NOTHING IN THIS OR IN ANY OF OUR MATERIALS IN ANY FORMAT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LEGAL ADVICE.
ALL ASSERTIONS, STATEMENTS, QUESTIONS, (RHETORICAL AND OTHERWISE) EXPRESSED IN THIS OR ANY OF OUR OTHER FLYERS ARE A REFLECTION OF ATTORNEY’S OBJECTIVELY REASONABLE GOOD FAITH AND BELIEF, INTERPRETATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEW TIERED REGISTRY LAW ALSO KNOWN AS SB 384.
REGARDING THE INSERTION: “AFFORDABLE INSTALLMENT PLANS IN THE LOW HUNDREDS AVAILABLE“. THIS SENTENCE IS INCLUDED TO COMMUNICATE THAT WE HAVE CERTAIN PLANS WHEREBY A CLIENT CAN PAY MONTHLY INSTALLMENTS TOWARD ATTORNEY’S LEGAL FEE(S). HAVING SAID THAT, NOTHING IN THAT SENTENCE OR IN ANY OTHER CONTENT ON THIS OR ANY OTHER PROMOTIONAL FLYER, MAILER, LETTER OR CORRESPONDENCE IS INTENDED TO COMMUNICATE THAT THAT IS THE ONLY TYPE OF PLAN THAT WE HAVE. NOR DO WE WARRANT, GUARANTEE OR ISSUE ANY IMPLIED OR EXPLICIT ASSURANCE THAT SUCH INSTALLMENT PLAN WILL BE NECESSARILY AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE. EACH CASE IS VASTLY DIFFERENT AND SOME CASES MAY CALL FOR A NON-“LOW HUNDREDS INSTALLMENT PLAN ARRANGEMENT. MOREOVER, THE POTENTIAL AVAILABILITY IN CERTAIN CASES REGARDING “AFFORDABLE INSTALLMENT PLANS IN THE LOW HUNDREDS” DOES NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM WORK TO THE EXCLUSION OF OTHER TYPES OF LEGAL FEE ARRANGEMENTS, INCLUDING FEE ARRANGEMENTS THAT CALL FOR LARGE UPFRONT PAYMENTS. ALSO, EVEN THE “AFFORDABLE INSTALLMENT PLANS IN THE LOW HUNDREDS MAY COME WITH SIGNIFICANT UPFRONT DEPOSITS IN THE THOUSANDS AND, ONLY AFTER SUCH DEPOSIT HAS BEEN MADE, DOES THE “AFFORDABLE INSTALLMENT… IN THE LOW HUNDREDS BECOME APPLICABLE. IN OTHER WORDS, IN MOST OR ALL OF OUR CURRENT INSTALLMENT PLANS, THE PAYMENT OF A SIZABLE UPFRONT DEPOSIT IS WHAT TRIGGERS, SO TO SPEAK, THE INSTALLMENT PLAN WHEREBY PAYMENTS CAN BE MADE OF A GENERALLY MODEST AMOUNT, OR AS DESCRIBED IN OUR CORRESPONDENCE, “INSTALLMENT PLANS IN THE LOW HUNDREDS.“ IN OTHER WORDS, “AFFORDABLE INSTALLMENT PLANS IN THE LOW HUNDREDS AVAILABLE“ IS GENERALLY MEANT ONLY TO ENCOMPASS MONTHLY PAYMENTS OR MONTHLY INSTALLMENTS MADE AFTER THE PAYMENT OF A DEPOSIT WHICH MAY BE IN THE SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT EVERY COMPONENT OF THE LEGAL FEE ARRANGEMENT WILL BE IN THE “LOW HUNDREDS“ BUT, RATHER, THAT, THE MONTHLY PAYMENTS THAT SUCCEED THIS SIZABLE INITIAL DEPOSIT MAY BE IN THE “LOW HUNDREDS” OF DOLLARS.
NO TESTIMONIALS OR ENDORSEMENTS (IN ANY OF OUR LETTERS, FLYERS, MAILERS, CORRESPONDENCE, AND/OR PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS OF ANY KIND AND/OR IN ANY FORMAT WHATSOEVER) DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A GUARANTEE, WARRANTY, OR PREDICTION REGARDING THE OUTCOME OF YOUR LEGAL MATTER.
IF YOU RECEIVED A FLYER TITLED: “WHY WOULD YOU HIRE A LAWYER WHO DOESN’T RESPECT YOU ENOUGH TO MEET YOU IN PERSON?, TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING:
NOTHING IN THIS OR ANY OTHER OF OUR MATERIALS IS MEANT TO CONVEY THAT, AS OF THE TIME OF THE WRITING OF THIS LETTER, THAT THE “NEW TIERED REGISTRY LAW“ IS IN EFFECT. IT IS SLATED TO TAKE EFFECT IN THE COURTS ON JULY 1, 2021. INSTEAD, THE STATEMENT “UNDER THE NEW TIERED REGISTRY LAW, THE PROSECUTOR WILL BE ABLE TO ASK FOR A COURT HEARING TO CHALLENGE YOUR PETITION TO TERMINATE DUTY TO REGISTER...“ IS INTENDED TO BE IN THE FUTURE TENSE, MEANING, THAT, WHEN AND/OR AFTER THE NEW TIERED REGISTRY LAW TAKES EFFECT, THE PROSECUTOR IS VESTED BY LAW WITH THE RIGHT TO DO THIS (AS PER ATTORNEY'S GOOD-FAITH INTERPRETATION AND/OR UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEW TIERED REGISTRY STATUTE).
NOTHING STATED HEREIN IS INTENDED TO CONVEY THAT A PETITION FOR TERMINATION FROM THE SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY MAY BE FILED BY OR ON BEHALF OF A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER BEFORE THE ACTUAL DATE HE OR SHE IS ELIGIBLE TO FILE A PETITION FOR TERMINATION FROM THE SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY. ASSEMBLY BILL 118, ALSO KNOWN AS THE “BIRTHDAY“ RULE, WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY HAVE AN IMPACT ON YOUR ELIGIBILITY DATE. NOR IS ANYTHING IN THIS MESSAGE INTENDED TO CONVEY YOU ARE NECESSARILY ELIGIBLE UNDER THE NEW REGISTRY LAW; YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE. IN-PERSON EVALUATION NEEDED TO DETERMINE WHAT, IF ANY RELIEF, YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR, IF AT ALL.
THE WORD “TRIED” IN THE STATEMENT “OUR TRIED, TRUE AND TRUSTED ATTORNEY” IS NOT MEANT TO CONVEY THAT THE ATTORNEY HAS YET REPRESENTED PEOPLE UNDER THE NEW TIERED REGISTRY LAW, WHICH HASN’T TAKEN EFFECT. INSTEAD, IT IS MEANT AS A GENERAL, BROAD-SCOPE DESCRIPTIVE TERM CONCERNING THE ATTORNEY’S CRIMINAL DEFENSE EXPERIENCE, SPECIFIC TO HIS SUBJECTIVE BUT REASONABLE AND GOOD FAITH BELIEF THAT HE IS QUALIFIED TO UNDERTAKE CRIMINAL REPRESENTATION SERVICES ON ACCOUNT OF HIS EXPERIENCE AND COMPETENCE. “TRACK RECORD OF WINS” IS NOT INTENDED TO INDICATE THAT ATTORNEY HAS WON ANY CASES PERTAINING TO A LAW THAT HASN’T YET TAKEN EFFECT BUT, RATHER, TO INDICATE THAT HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL WITH CRIMINAL DEFENSE MATTERS GENERALLY.
THE LETTER’S INDICATION THAT THE ATTORNEY IS AVAILABLE TO “MEET WITH YOU IN PERSON, “IN YOUR AREA OR REASONABLY CLOSE”, OR "CALL FOR A NO-COST APPOINTMENT IN YOUR AREA" IS NOT ANY GUARANTEE, PROMISE, ASSURANCE OR WARRANTY OF SAME, BUT, RATHER, A BROAD STATEMENT OF GENERAL AVAILABILITY. ATTORNEY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DECLINE REPRESENTATION IN ANY MATTER FOR ANY REASON OR TO TRAVEL TO ANY DESTINATION HE CHOOSES NOT TO TRAVEL TO. "IN YOUR AREA" IS A GENERIC EXPRESSION ONLY MEANING THAT, TO THE DEGREE THAT ATTORNEY MAY BE WITHIN OR TRAVEL TO YOUR GENERAL PROXIMITY, IT IS POSSIBLE HE MAY BE WILLING TO MEET WITHIN THAT PROXIMITY, NOTHING MORE. MOREOVER IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE ATTORNEY WILL COME TO YOUR HOUSE OR TO A DESTINATION OF YOUR CHOOSING. INSTEAD, IT IS MEANT TO INDICATE THAT HE WILL OR IS GENERALLY WILLING TO MEET WITH INTERESTED PARTIES AS CLOSE OR AS REASONABLY CLOSE TO THEIR CITY OF RESIDENCE AS HE CAN AND NO FURTHER. AND, EVEN THEN, THE ATTORNEY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DECLINE MEETING ANY PROSPECT FOR ANY REASON AND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFRAIN FROM TRAVELING TO ANY PARTICULAR DESTINATION HE DESIRES NOT TO TRAVEL TO.
