COMPREHENSIVE CRIMINAL DEFENSE BY SEASONED PROFESSIONALS
As a consummate criminal defense attorney, Richard Dudek advocates for your interests regardless of the nature of the crime.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A MISDEMEANOR OR FELONY IN CALIFORNIA
In California, crimes may be charged as either felonies or misdemeanors. The choice of felony or misdemeanor rests with the prosecutor and depends on the nature of the event and your criminal history. A felony is punishable by imprisonment in state or federal prison for more than a year. A misdemeanor is punished by incarceration for a year or less in county jail.
With more than a decade of experience with the Sacramento, CA criminal courts, Richard Dudek is highly effective at negotiating for reduced charges during plea negotiations. Richard Dudek knows what a case should be worth and does not permit you to be overcharged by heavy-handed prosecution.

- The facts supporting the allegations against you
- Your options in plea negotiations
- The extent of potential punishments
- Various consequences of a felony or misdemeanor conviction
Our law firm is here to assist you with every nuance of your case, whether it is the penalty for vehicular manslaughter, the laws on child abuse, the defenses to drug charges, insurance consequences after a DUI, or how to defend against allegations of assault on a coworker at work.

APPEALS & WRITS IN CRIMINAL CASES
Advocacy on behalf of our clients does not end at sentencing. The Law Offices of Richard Dudek is your advocate on appeal from any criminal conviction. Appeals and writs provide avenues of post-conviction relief in many criminal cases. Appeals essentially overturn a court order because of lack of evidence, judge bias or another miscarriage of justice. A writ claims your rights are currently being violated by the state, for example if you are incarcerated for an invalid reason. We vigorously pursue such post-conviction remedies at both the federal and state levels.
