Welcome to the Law Offices of Cambria Lisonbee.
My practice is focused solely to criminal defense. During law school, I worked as a law clerk for a criminal defense firm where I discovered my love for serving others through protecting rights guaranteed under the United States Constitution. I can help with all criminal matters, including State and Federal crimes, felonies and misdemeanors.
I accept the following forms of payment:
Checks
Cash
Credit Card (via Paypal only)
Cashier's Check/Money Order
FLAT FEE
Most cases can be handled on a flat fee basis.
HOURLY
If you prefer to pay my hourly rate rather than pay a flat fee, I give that to you as an option. My hourly rate is currently $150 per hour (minimum $750 retainer).

What is an Expungement?
After successful completion of probation, you may petition the court to dismiss the charges under Penal Code §1203.4. If it is in the interest of justice, the judge may allow you to file the petition before probation ends. In other words, it will show up as "dismissed under Penal Code Section 1203.4" after being granted.
Disclosure – Granting of this petition does NOT relieve you of the obligation to disclose the conviction in response to any direct question contained in any questionnaire or application for public office, for licensure by any state or local agency, or for contracting with the California State Lottery. DMV – Granting of this petition does NOT affect DMV actions or future consequences for crimes involving operation of a motor vehicle. Firearms – Granting of this petition does NOT permit you to own, possess, or have in your custody or control any firearm. Sealing – Granting of this petition does NOT seal your record. The case, including the conviction will remain public record. Sex Registration – Granting of petition does NOT relieve you from any obligation to register under Penal Code §290.
This information is for general use and not intended as full and comprehensive instruction governing the laws and rules relating to relief granted under Penal Code §1203.4.
How much does it cost to obtain an expungement from your office?
I currently charge $500 for expungements, that includes the $120 filing fee paid to the court. This is the cost whether or not the expungement is granted. (Pertains to Orange County only. Other counties may be arranged at a different rate).
If you have been arrested in Orange County for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the following information pertains to you:
DMV ADMIN PER SE HEARING
What is one of the first things you should do? REQUEST A DMV HEARING WITHIN 10 DAYS. In California, a DUI arrest usually results in having your driver's license confiscated by the arresting officer and being given a temporary license. The temporary license will expire after 30 days if no action is taken. To prevent loss of driving privileges, the person arrested (or their attorney) can request a California DMV administrative per se hearing. THIS MUST BE DONE WITHIN 10 DAYS OF YOUR ARREST. While waiting for your scheduled DMV admin per se hearing, your driver's license will not be suspended. If you win the hearing, your license will not be suspended by the DMV, however, the Court could take action against your driving privileges separately.
WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FOR A FIRST TIME DUI?
Penalties for first time DUI typically include the following in Orange County:
-- 3 to 5 years probation
--A fine, including court fees and costs (approximately $1900)
--6 month loss of California driver's license.
-- Alcohol education course (minimum 3 months)
-- MADD Panel
-- Booking fees paid to arresting agency
[The above only applies to DUI's with no aggravating factors such as driving with a child, reckless driving, speeding, high blood alcohol content, etc.]
IF YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL, SHOW UP AT EVERY COURT APPEARANCE OR A WARRANT WILL BE ISSUED FOR YOUR ARREST
