Understanding California Perjury Charges & Penalties

You could be charged with perjury if the prosecution believes there is evidence that you knowingly and willingly made false statements while under oath or contract. Perjury allegations can result from such situations as lying before the court, providing false information on federal paperwork or a declaration, or falsely signing an affidavit or certificate. This is a serious white collar offense, and sentencing for conviction of perjury can include a minimum of 4 years of incarceration in a California State prison. If you are facing these charges it is imperative that you enlist the aggressive and experienced defense of our firm as soon as possible to ensure your rights are protected.

Fighting Perjury Accusations in California

Our team thoroughly investigates the charges brought against our clients so that we can build detailed and compelling defenses to present to the courts. We can explore a number of possible defenses that may be relevant to your situation, including:

• Insufficient or lack of evidence. If there is no way to prove that you are guilty of the crime based on conflicting testimonies, cross-examinations and weaknesses in the prosecutor's defense you may have your charges dropped or greatly reduced.
• Mistake or misunderstanding. In this defense, you are giving an accurate statement, even if the statement is possibly false. This is often proved through aggressive legal defense that will prove that at the time of the statement, you had every reason to believe your statement was true.
• You quickly corrected or changed your statement. This means that at the time of your statement you quickly changed your answer from a statement that was inaccurate to one that you believed to be true.
