Consequences Of Conviction

The stakes are high. A conviction of a serious felony can affect your career, your family and your freedom. Many felonies, such as some sex crimes, require the application of mandatory sentencing formulas. Conviction of a sex crime also requires registration as a sex offender. You may face a lengthy sentence in a state or federal prison. You may also be required to make restitution.

Our attorneys are experienced trial lawyers who know how to develop an effective defense to criminal charges. We make sure the charges are valid. We investigate the government’s case to identify possible weaknesses, review the evidence, and analyze the reports provided by law enforcement.
