In California, how long will my brother go to jail for if he was caught for criminal trespassing?

Question:  My brother was arrested for trespassing recently and was taken into custody.  In Van Nuys California, how long will my brother go to jail for if he was caught for criminal trespassing?

Answer: There are many variables that come into play and it really depends on the situation, if he has a criminal record, if so, the extent to that criminal record.  Also, what were the circumstances that led to the arrest for trespassing.  Of course the variable of what his attorney can do to assist in minimizing any potential consequences.  It is possible to get trespassing charges dismissed completely avoiding jail or other consequences.  Call me for a consult to discuss in more detail if you would like.  818-336-1384.
