Misdemeanors
These are generally considered to be crimes less serious than a felony
and they will carry less of a penalty, however, they can still be highly
damaging and lead to a mark on the criminal record of a person found guilty.
Avoiding a conviction is important since it can not only leave you with
fines or probation time, in addition to being viewable to the public including
future employers. A misdemeanor can be a smaller crime that can still
leave you with an unfortunate outcome.
Felonies
A felony is the most serious charge that person can receive, although there
are different types of felonies that will punished in various manners.
Those convicted can face jail time, probation, high fines, community service
and more. The state follows the three strikes law so those that are convicted
four times will have their sentencing increased each time after that.
A charge for a felony such as rape, murder, drug trafficking or burglary
can be detrimental to the life and goals of a person. When you are suspected
of a crime of this nature, you need to seek capable defense fast.
DWI (Driving While Impaired)
Driving while impaired is a crime in any state. Impairment can be a result
of drugs, alcohol and even prescription medication. The blood alcohol
content level of a person is required to be less than .08 percent for
them to legally be behind the wheel. When you are suspected of drinking
and driving an officer can choose to pull you over to assess if you appear
to have been drinking. Often times it is useful to remain silent so as
to not incriminate yourself further.
DMV Hearings & License Restorations
There are many reasons that may cause a person to lose their license. If
you have been caught drinking and driving you could have had your license
suspended or revoked as a penalty. When your license is suspended you
lose your privilege to drive. Though it can eventually be restored if
you meet the requirements, any time without your license can be challenging.
Our attorneys can aid you in pursuing a DMV hearing where you can state
the reasons you need driving privileges and may be granted some of them
until you are able to regain your license.
Traffic Offenses
Streets and freeways are used by many as a way to get around but it is
important to never become too comfortable when driving. A mistake can
leave you facing a traffic offense that can be costly. Speeding, running
a red light, reckless driving and driving without a license are all examples
of a traffic violation that can go on your record. The more offenses you
accrue on your record, the more your insurance rates can begin to climb.
