The criminal justice system in California is broken up into three categories of offenses: infractions, misdemeanors, and felonies. The court procedure and your rights vary depending on what you are charged with. Proper Defense represents people facing any one of the three categories.
Infractions
Infractions are the lowest level offense and are commonly traffic violations. Infractions are punishable by a fine only; no jail time and no probation.
