Misdemeanor Criminal Defense Attorney

Technically, misdemeanors are minor crimes that haven’t hurt anyone or destroyed any property. Drug possession, first and second offense DWIs, and petty theft are all misdemeanor crimes. A misdemeanor criminal conviction can still carry hefty punishment, especially if you’re a repeat offender.

In Texas, a misdemeanor conviction could result in fines of up to $4 thousand and one year of jail time. After you’ve served your time, though, the conviction will follow you around the rest of your life and make finding a job or renting an apartment incredibly difficult.

It’s in your best interest to hire a criminal defense lawyer, even for a minor crime. They’ll negotiate with the District Attorney and, if necessary, take your case to trial in criminal court.

Felony Criminal Defense Attorney

Felony crimes are more serious criminal charges than misdemeanors. Most felonies involve violence, but extreme instances of theft and property damage, like arson, are also felonies. Felony convictions are serious and could be penalized by up to life imprisonment and in Texas, the death penalty.

There are several other consequences to being convicted of a felony. Felons may no longer vote, own firearms, and in certain circumstances, belong to professional organizations. Finding work or a place to live after a felony conviction is especially difficult.

If you’ve been charged with a federal or state felony, you should seek legal representation immediately. Even minor felonies carry the possibility of serious fines and jail time in the state prison. An experienced criminal defense lawyer will be able to negotiate with the District Attorney and plead your case in court, if necessary.

Julie Boren has alot of experience defending clients with felony convictions. She works hard to help you avoid jail time and conviction, whether that means taking a plea deal or going to trial. Contact us today for a criminal defense consultation meeting.
