What Happens When You Are Convicted of a Crime

Choosing to represent yourself or simply plead guilty to criminal charges may be a big mistake; being convicted of a crime can have a severely negative effect on your your life and future opportunities. Some of the penalties associated with a criminal conviction include:

• A permanent mark on your criminal record, which could prevent you from obtaining housing, education, employment, and other opportunities;
• Jail or prison time, sometimes for life;
• Capital punishment;
• Probation;
• Driver’s license suspension/revocation;
• Large fines;
• Restitution;
• Court costs;
• Mandatory rehabilitation; and
• Court-ordered community service.

We will represent you when communicating with the court, the police, the prosecution, and all other parties; gather evidence for your case; represent you at trial; make motions to suppress evidence against you; and more.
