 Attorney Eduardo Paredes represents clients in immigration and
criminal law cases. Having practiced law criminal law in
California, representing clients from arrest, through jury trial,
Attorney Eduardo Paredes is well-suited to represent the accused
in their criminal proceedings.
In 2014, the electorate of the state of California passed Proposition
47 which impacts sentencing for offenders of certain offenses that
were previously categorized as felonies, but, based on the
statutory language of California Penal Code Section 1170.18, has
now been classified as misdemeanors. The law passed in
November 2014, thus reducing penalties for some people
convicted of a nonviolent offenses.
Being well familiarized with California's tough sentencing laws,
Attorney Eduardo Paredes champions proposition 47 arguments
in court in order to assure that this clients face fewer consequences
on account of their conviction.
 A prior felony offense can be used in subsequent arrests to
increase the possible sentence that an accused faces when re-
arrested. Thus, invoking a defendant's rights under Prop. 47 is an
excellent vehicle to assure that an accused is able to defend
themselves from future detriment for a current arrest.
Offenders eligible under Proposition 47 may have felony
convictions reduced to misdemeanors. Crimes that may apply
include possession of stolen goods, shoplifting, forgery, and check
fraud. The statute does not narrow the list of eligible offenses to
this list, however, many state court judges are reluctant to stretch
the statute to include other offenses despite the statutory language
allowing the courts to do so. In response, Attorney Eduardo
Paredes has researched Prop 47 codes extensively and has used
his extensive research to argue on behalf of the accused to mitigate
the exposure that a client faces in order to get leniency for
individuals charged with a crime.
