What to Expect After an Arrest
The Sacramento County court system handles a wide range of criminal cases each year, including charges involving conduct like indecent exposure under Penal Code Section 314.
Charges for indecent exposure carry serious consequences, including jail, probation, fines, and mandatory sex offender registration if convicted. Sacramento courts move quickly on criminal cases, so knowing the local landscape is important in preparing for the steps ahead.
- Initial court appearance: After your arrest, you typically appear at an arraignment before a Sacramento County judge. You have the right to legal representation at this hearing.
- Preparing your defense: Attorney Vega will examine every detail, from the police report to the context of your arrest, to give you a clear picture of the charges you're facing, the potential consequences you're up against, and the defense options available.
- Negotiation or trial: Depending on the circumstances, your case may be resolved through a negotiated resolution or proceed to trial.
- Emphasizing your side of the story: We work to make sure your perspective is clearly heard to give you the best chance at reduced sentencing or case dismissal.
Each phase of the legal process requires preparation. We ensure you know your rights, possible outcomes, and next steps at every stage of the process. Our knowledge of Sacramento’s legal system and familiarity with the district attorney’s approach can help reduce uncertainty as you move through court.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I’m accused of indecent exposure?
Remain calm and avoid discussing your case with anyone except your attorney. Politely decline to answer questions from law enforcement until you can consult a defense lawyer for guidance on your next steps.
Can an indecent exposure charge be dropped or reduced?
Yes, some cases result in dismissal or reduction depending on the facts, available evidence, and the negotiations between your attorney and the prosecutor. Each case is unique, and potential outcomes vary.

Conviction for indecent exposure can result in mandatory registration as a sex offender. An attorney can help clarify your risks and discuss possible ways to challenge the registration requirement based on your specific case.

"Mr. Vega reassured me that he would do his best and was with me every step of the way"
Mr. Vega is an amazing attorney and I would recommend him to anyone!!! Let me just be frank my case was looking unbelievably scary! I had 150,000 bail was looking at federal charges and my entire life was in jeopardy...multiple felonies. Mr. Vega reassured me that he would do his best and was with me every step of the way answered every question, every phone call, every time!!! I ended up receiving a misdemeanor and sheriff work release 120 days, after facing 4 years state/ 10 years federal!! Now if my review doesn't convince you then idk what will but he was worth every single penny and I'll love him for life, he saved my life!

"He has the experience and knowledge of the judicial process."
Atty. Vega provided professional service regarding my case. He has the experience and knowledge of the judicial process in the Stanislaus County judicial system. He was able to get an enhancements charge and a traffic citation dismissed. I would recommend him to anyone needing attorney representation in the Stanislaus County area.

"Regardless of the charges you are facing, he will treat you as a person and not what the paper says about you."
Hiring an attorney can be a stressful process. Mr.Vega was very helpful right from the very first phone call. He is very down to earth, and was able to explain things so that I understood. My husband was facing felony drug charges, and a possible 6 year sentence. He took the case seriously and made us feel like we mattered and that we had a voice. Regardless of the charges you are facing, he will treat you as a person and not what the paper says about you. He was able to get a very good deal that we didn't think was possible and in fact were told by other attorneys was out of the question. My husband was able to get all charges but one dismissed, 1 year of county jail , with half, credit for time served and probation and the ability to apply for early release via the work project program. That's amazing. He was willing to negotiate to come up with a payment plan to fit the needs of everyone involved. I'm 100% happy with his service and would highly recommend him to anyone.

"He handled it perfectly and was able to get it cleared up."
Mr. Vega did an outstanding job handling a background check error. It almost caused me not to get hired with InShape health clubs. He handled it perfectly and was able to get it cleared up and I was able to start working!! If I am ever in need of an attorney again, I will definitely give him a call. Thank you very much, Mr. Vega!!!

"He’s so down to earth and easy to talk to."
I made some stupid choices in 2015 that came back to hunt me January 2016. I was extremely scared of the thought of going to jail for a few years over a stupid choice I made the prior year. As soon as I talked to Mr. Vega, I instantly knew I wanted to hire him to represent me. It’s so unlike me to make such an important decision without doing a lot of research but I knew from speaking on the phone with him that he would be the one to help me. Although I was facing these charges and having to explain to him everything that happened, not one time did he make me feel like a criminal. He’s so down to Earth and easy to talk to. Mr. Vega was able to get me 90 days of house arrest which I was only required to do half of. Forever thankful for your help and would recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney!
