We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

In California, police have probable cause when there is sufficient evidence to convince a reasonable person that a crime has been committed. Probable cause is a higher standard than reasonable suspicion but a lower standard than beyond a reasonable doubt.
If the judge concludes there is probable cause to believe the crime was committed by the defendant, a trial will soon be scheduled. However, if the judge does not believe the evidence establishes probable cause that the defendant committed the offence, they will dismiss the charges.
