Misdemeanor and Felony Charges:

Depending on the nature of your case, you may face either misdemeanor or felony criminal charges.

Misdemeanor charges are less serious offenses. The range of sentencing is less than that of a felony. Conviction of a misdemeanor carries a prison sentence of less than one year in jail. Misdemeanor offenses also carry certain fines and costs, which depend on the crime you supposedly committed. A misdemeanor conviction leads to a mark on your criminal record, which may remain unless it’s expunged.

Felony charges are much more serious than misdemeanors. The range of sentencing is from one year to life in prison. Like a misdemeanor, you’ll also face certain fines and costs, which depend on the crime. A felony conviction will also be on your criminal record, and it’s much more difficult to expunge than a misdemeanor conviction. Depending on the type of conviction you face, it may take up to ten years before it’s available for expungement.

Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol:

Our criminal defense attorneys aggressively defend individuals charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. A DUI is either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending mainly on if it’s a first or second offense. We provide legal representation for the following drunk driving related criminal offenses:

  • DUI Under the Influence of Alcohol
  • Driving While Impaired
  • APC Actual Physical Control of a Motor Vehicle While Intoxicated

Drug Possession and Distribution:

The prosecution must prove several elements for someone to be convicted of drug possession and/or distribution charges. Our attorneys can gather evidence to assert a defense on your behalf to have the charges against you, or your loved one, reduced or dismissed.

Depending on the evidence, we’ll either take the case to trial or negotiate a plea bargain. In both situations, we have what it takes to see your case through to the end. If your case involves a plea bargain, we have the experience dealing with the prosecutors you need on your side. We’ve represented clients in cases that have ended in not guilty at trial or dismissals of all charges. Contact us for more information and to get a free consultation.
