A Wide Scope of Crimes – From Misdemeanors to Felonies

Criminal charges encompass a broad range of misdemeanors and felonies. Felonies are serious offenses such as murder, serious drug violations, fraud, sex crimes, and aggravated assault—usually punishable by imprisonment of a year or more. Misdemeanors, which are less serious in nature, include offenses like battery, petty theft and simple assault, and are punishable by less than a year of jail time.

When you are placed under arrest or are accused of a criminal violation, your life, your reputation and your ability to earn a living may all be at risk. The moment the police begin questioning you, it is important to remember, you have the right to remain silent, until you consult with an attorney. Choosing a skilled criminal attorney to defend you is a vital step necessary not only to protect your legal rights, but also to ensure you have effective representation and obtain the best results possible.
