Penalties of a Criminal Conviction

The penalties faced by convicted criminals vary significantly depending on a number of factors including the type of offense (misdemeanor or felony), prior convictions, status of probation or parole, the community’s attitude toward the crime, and other mitigating circumstances. Possible penalties and punishments for criminal convictions may include:

• Imprisonment or jail time

• Hefty fines
• Community service
• Court ordered rehabilitation
• Loss of certain rights
• Forfeiture of assets
• Restitution paid to victims

Criminal Defense and Your Legal Rights

Every citizen and legal resident of the United States has specific rights under the Constitution. Individuals accused, charged, or convicted of a crime still retain a number of important legal rights. If any of these rights are violated during either the arrest to the trial, the outcome of the case may change drastically, typically in a defendant’s favor.  The most important thing to remember is that you are innocent until proven guilty and it is up to the government to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you are the perpetrator of the crime before you can be convicted.

It is vital that you consult with a capable and aggressive criminal defense attorney who will work tirelessly to defend your legal rights and ensure you are not unduly punished. Please contact us today for a complimentary consultation. Early action is often the key to a successful defense.
