Understanding Criminal Charges
Criminal charges can range from minor offenses to serious felonies, and each comes with its own set of legal consequences. Common criminal charges we handle include:
- Misdemeanors: These are less severe offenses but can still carry penalties such as fines, probation, and up to a year in jail. Examples include petty theft, simple assault, and minor drug possession.
- Felonies: Serious crimes that carry harsher penalties, including lengthy prison sentences and significant fines. Examples include violent crimes, drug trafficking, sex crimes, and serious property crimes.
- DUI and Traffic Violations: Driving under the influence, reckless driving, and other traffic-related offenses can result in license suspension, fines, and even jail time.
- Domestic Violence: Allegations of domestic violence can lead to criminal charges, restraining orders, and life-altering consequences.
- Theft and Property Crimes: From shoplifting to burglary, theft crimes can result in criminal records and severe penalties.
Regardless of the charge, it’s important to seek legal representation as soon as possible. Even a minor misdemeanor can have long-term consequences, affecting your employment opportunities, housing, and personal relationships.
