Criminal Law
The consequences are dire for any criminal offense you might face as a result of being charged with a criminal offense. There is the possibility of losing your liberty to prison time. You may have steep fines levied against you. You will also have a criminal record that could hurt your chances at getting your dream job, going to the college of your choice, getting the loan you need to buy a house or rent an apartment that you like.
You don't have to accept these consequences. You have a right to an attorney. Your lawyer can challenge the prosecutor's evidence and advocate for you, seeking to have your charges reduced or dismissed or convincing the jury that there is reasonable doubt and they must acquit. If you are charged with a crime, a criminal defense lawyer from Litchford, Pearce & Associates, can fight for your rights to ensure you get the best outcome in your case.
