Vandalism

Penal Code Section 594

If you need an Orange County Vandalism Lawyer then contact Mr. Bruzzo at (714) 547-4636.

Defacing property with graffiti, causing damage to property or destroying property can cause one to be charged with vandalism. If the property damage is under $400.00 then the matter will usually be charged as a misdemeanor and the client subject to up to one year in jail although it is rare that any of Mr. Bruzzo’s client go to jail for such an offense; over $400.00 can cause the matter to be charged as a felony.

It is important to know that a conviction for vandalism can cause the client’s license to be suspended even if the vandalism had nothing to do with driving. However, a skillful attorney can change the nature of the charge, if appropriate, to avoid a license suspension.
