Criminal Defense Cases We Handle
While probation may be an option for certain first-time offenses, in many situations, a defendant is facing penalties such as imprisonment, fines, restitution, court-ordered counseling, mandatory drug or alcohol treatment, driver's license suspension, and/or sex offender registration. You can expect penalty enhancements (harsher sentencing) if a minor was involved, a deadly weapon was used, and/or the crime resulted in injuries or fatalities. The defendant's criminal past will also influence the severity of sentencing.
