You Have Questions. We Have Answers.

Do I need to hire an attorney or can I handle this myself?
Criminal law is a highly specific area with different resolutions that can be put in place that only an experience criminal law attorney would know. We recommend putting your case in the hands of an experienced professional for the best possible outcome.

Will this affect future job applications or my current job?
It is job and application dependent, but most applications ask have you been convicted of a crime. If you pay the fine or get time served on a charge, the answer is yes to that. That is going to cause an issue moving forward and is a lot harder, if not impossible, to fix on the back end.

Do I need to attend the court date?
Your municipal attorney can appear in court on your behalf.

How long does it take to resolve a municipal or magistrate case?
These cases move fairly quickly, so time is critical. The sooner you put an experienced municipal attorney on your side, the better positioned you will be.

What penalties am I facing if convicted?
In addition to the problems that come with having a criminal record, you will face jail time, fines and other ramifications. Your municipal lawyer can help you identify your legal risks based on the specific offense.

What can I do to keep my record clean and get the best result?
The most important thing you can do is contact us for a free consultation. We can view your defense options from every angle and position you to obtain the best possible result.
