Misdemeanor Charges in California
A misdemeanor arrest in Sacramento can lead to serious consequences — including jail, probation, fines, and a permanent record. Common charges include DUI, drug possession, petty theft, domestic battery, and resisting arrest. Even first-time offenders face long-term impacts on employment, immigration status, and professional licensing.
Under California law, misdemeanors carry penalties of up to one year in county jail, but some charges (“wobblers”) may be filed as felonies depending on the circumstances. After an arrest, the process moves quickly — from arraignment to potential trial or resolution. Early legal action is critical.

California Proposition 64
Since its approval in 2016, California Proposition 64 has significantly reshaped the state’s marijuana laws, legalizing recreational cannabis use for adults 21 and older. The law permits limited possession, personal cultivation, and private use, while also establishing a tax framework to fund youth programs, environmental cleanup, and local law enforcement. It applies retroactively, allowing individuals with prior marijuana convictions to seek resentencing or expungement. Recent updates in 2024 and 2025 have further expanded the law’s impact, including an increase in the cannabis excise tax from 15% to 19%, the legalization of cannabis cafés offering food and entertainment, and new employment protections for off-duty marijuana use. At the same time, regulatory scrutiny has increased due to safety concerns over lab-tested products. Importantly, marijuana-related criminal charges are still possible for driving under the influence, illegal sales, or exceeding possession limits. At the Law Office of Wing & Parisi, we help clients understand their rights, defend against cannabis-related charges, and clear their records.

California Three Strikes Law
California’s Three Strikes Law imposes harsh penalties on repeat felony offenders, leading to longer sentences and mandatory life imprisonment for a third conviction. Originally enacted in 1994 to target violent criminals, the law has faced criticism for its severe application to non-violent offenses. While Proposition 36 introduced reforms to limit life sentences to serious or violent felonies, the law still significantly impacts sentencing for those with prior convictions. Facing a Three Strikes charge in California requires an aggressive legal defense to challenge prior strikes, negotiate reduced charges, or seek case dismissal.
