What Could Happen to Me if Convicted?
Depending on the circumstances, a jury could find you guilty of either a misdemeanor or felony. Although misdemeanors result in shorter sentences and lesser fines, they usually mean some time in jail and a significant drop in your bank account. Under certain circumstances, the prosecutor can upgrade your charges to the felony level. In that case, you’re looking at significant prison time and hefty fines. Long-term consequences include difficulties in finding work, losing custody of children, limits in firearm ownership, inability to enter institutions of higher learning, and more. Don’t risk these consequences. Let us take up your cause today.
