Dear friends: please be aware that effective tomorrow, 11-21-2020, California has imposed a curfew from 10:00 p.m. to 5 a.m. It will be in effect in Monterey County, and throughout the Central Coast. That means that if you are seen outside during the curfew period, police officers will have legal basis to stop and question you, which will likely lead to increased investigations, car searches, pat downs, interrogations, and arrests for crimes that have nothing to do with our ...ongoing health crisis. While the intention behind the curfew is to stop the spread of the virus, we are gravely concerned about carte blanche this will give to law enforcement to detain and question our current and future clients for unrelated law violations. Please be careful and remember - DO NOT GIVE THEM A REASON! If you are being questioned, remember your rights. Stay silent and call your lawyer. We wish all of you a safe and healthy holiday season, and a Happy Thanksgiving! https://www.politico.com//newsom-orders-california-curfew-

ATTENTION: Monterey County Jail is experiencing a growing outbreak of COVID-19. From this Monday to today, the outbreak has grown more than 60 times. Several pods have been quarantined, but inmates are not being isolated from each other. From what we are told, everyone is held together in the same place waiting for test results and only the sick people are being moved. This is going to cause entire pods to become infection incubators.

Contrary to popular belief, children do not always tell the truth about what may have happened to them and can be easily manipulated by adults or have things suggested to them by authority figures, such as teachers, doctors, or police officers. In many cases that we have handled, allegations of child abuse or neglect were made after a disciplinary event at school or at home, or in the context of a marital separation, contested custody, or arrival of a new step-parent into the picture. We serve Monterey County as well as all the surrounding counties. https://www.perniklaw.com/criminal-def/child-abuse-neglect/

An incredible, meaningful victory today by our very own Mr. Roland Soltesz! In a case involving a profoundly disabled client charged with some of the most serious charges, Roland was successful in using expert testimony in demonstrating nuanced and profound deficits in our client's competency to stand trial, returning this disabled individual to state hospital for further treatment, rather than facing decades of incarceration in prison! Well done, Roland!!! CONGRATS!!!

Happy Halloween, everybody! Stay safe, but do call us if you get in trouble!
