Conviction of a crime can turn a person's life upside down due to heavy fines, jail time, or even prison sentence. Their future success could also be stunted by the consequent criminal record.

Few people anticipate that they will be arrested for making too much noise or challenging an enemy to a fight; however, these are exactly the types of actions that most often lead to an arrest for disturbing the peace. By definition, disturbing the peace is generalized as behavior which proves to be unsettling to the proper public order of things.

The team at the Law offices of Frances Prizzia did everything possible to expunge my criminal record. I had misdemeanors, I had felonies and from a troubled youth of 20-30 made many mistakes. I was impatient at first, yet when I realized Frances had the reins, and I was in good hands , I relaxed and just felt a sense of relief.
I work in court ordered classes and Pam, Frances Prizzia (the team also) will be getting my recommendation. The feeling of being a completely free man has barely still set in. I carried it way too long. Twenty five years to seek help was ridiculous to wait and Ms. Prizzia

I had a few old tickets that had been open a long time that I wasn't aware were still open and were actually bench warrants!(I had paid another lawyer 15 years ago to handle!) I thought they were handled because they didn't show up on the court records or the DMV records and I was able to get my license back 15 years ago! but they were still open! only reason I knew is because I applied for my passport and was denied because of them, anyways Ms.Prizzia and her staff were able to get both cases completely dismissed! no fine! no probation! nothing! thanks again for your help! you guys did a great

Frances is THE BEST! Helped me with civil case which ended almost a year ago now (May 2019). But continued to give me updates until MONTHS after (December 2019). I didn’t have to do anything other than answer simple questions over the phone and text and she did the rest. It was my very first time having to deal with court and stuff, so it was very nerve wrecking for me. But she did it all! She’s super woman! Always so busy but also manages to keep you well informed with every step. I love Frances and her work. I would highly recommend her. Thank you!!

Thank you Ms Prizzia for your win in the James Morris case. My name is Linda. I hired you after much research, needing a Trial Lawyer unafraid to stand up to local Police DA Judge and a track record to prove it. A lawyer committed to the Constitutional Rights of the defendant and willing to do the work to preserve his rights: file motions, hire investigators, research case law. All this for a reasonable fee and a payment plan.
I was beginning to think I was asking too much, but I found you Francis Prizzia. I read your background helping low income people, leading the class in cases won, always

Frances is super knowledgeable and very well known in the courts. She is very patient, nice and most important, she will fight for you. I totally recommend her services and I am extremely happy with the outcome. This process is nerve wracking and extremely difficult, but she has done an amazing job and is one of the best out there. You are in good hands. Thank you again!

Frances Prizzia recently represented me in a felony vandalism case. Prior to retaining Frances, I had struggled through 17 months of court appearances while being represented by a different law firm. When Frances took over my case she immediately had the charges against me reduced to a misdemeanor and soon after convinced the court to dismiss the case completely. Frances and her staff are incredible! Always available, always comforting and always aggressively working on her clients behalf. Meeting Frances Prizzia was a true blessing and allowed my wife and I to return to a normal life. Thank you

So I found myself on the wrong side of the law due to a payment dispute with a former employer and a false account of what had transpired during that dispute that was given to authorities by the same employer who refused to pay me what I was owed. I was homeless at the time of my arrest and living out of my car. I didn’t have the resources to immediately begin my defense so once I was released from LA county jail after a 30 day stint I began looking for an affordable lawyer to assist me with my defense. I was assigned three different public defenders until I finally wised up and looked for a

Frances is the best at what she does. Being that I’ve never been in trouble before, she helped ease my mind. She answered all of my questions, even gave me her personal cellphone number to be able to reach her. Her communication is great! Not to mention she is very flexible and affordable. Having her as my lawyer gives me no worries. She is handling 2 separate cases for me in which one of them she has gotten dismissed. Not to mention she went the extra mile and drove over an hour from where her office is to handle what was needed. She has great knowledge of all things that were thrown our way
