We Can Help You

 

What you should know

  • Depending on the circumstances, you could be facing a Jail Sentence upon conviction.
     
  • Misdemeanors are punished according to Record Levels – 1, 2, or 3 – with Level 3 being the most severe.
     
  • A Record Level is determined by your past criminal record.
     
  • Strict Probationary Sentences, long Community Service hours, and expensive Fines comprise just some of the other possible consequences of conviction besides jail.
     
  • Many times a conviction for a misdemeanor cannot be expunged.
     
  • A misdemeanor conviction can greatly affect your employment status, and your ability to get a new job.
     
  • The Prosecutors and the State have vast resources to use against you in court and at trial.
     
  • Sometimes you can be charged with a misdemeanor crime, even though no police are involved in the case, or the police investigated and declined to press charges.

What we can do

  • Our team has extensive experience investigating misdemeanor cases and successfully seeing misdemeanor cases through trial.
     
  • Review police documents and interview police witnesses to know what evidence that the State and Prosecution has against you.
     
  • Before court we can talk over the phone and meet in person to learn about your case and to decide on a strategy on how to proceed.
     
  • Subpoena and prepare necessary witnesses for trial.
     
  • Explore opportunities to have charges dismissed or reduced, or arrange a plea where certain consequences – such as jail time – are taken off the table.
     
  • Identify a possibility for a Deferred Prosecution, where the charges against you get dismissed in exchange for adhering to certain conditions.
     
  • Examine any chance for a Prayer for Judgment Continued (PJC), explaining to you what it is, and pursuing this plea in court at the appropriate time.
