Consequences of Criminal Charges

Whether you are facing domestic violence charges, drug charges, OWI/DUI, sex crime charges, theft crime charges, or some other misdemeanor or felony charge, your freedom and future may be in jeopardy. Your job or career may be on the line, your reputation compromised, and even your family may suffer social harm depending on the circumstances. The criminal penalties that can be imposed upon a conviction can land you in jail or prison, call for heavy fines and lengthy and restrictive probations, and other sanctions. A conviction will also give you a permanent criminal record that can limit your future ability to find work or housing or disqualify you for a professional licenses or access to higher education.

In any case, however, the prosecutor must prove each element of the crime as it is defined under law beyond a reasonable doubt. This means that those elements can be challenged with evidence from your side that will work in your favor. You will need a smart and experienced defender who knows how to investigate your charges, analyze evidence, uncover weaknesses in that evidence, and present it in a convincing manner to the prosecutor or in court.

Our firm will provide the assistance you need when deciding when to seek a plea deal or when to take your case to trial. Many factors will need to be considered. Positive results can range from a case dismissal to reduced charges, reduced sentencing, a diversion program, or an acquittal in court. We will ensure you have a realistic understanding of where you stand, your potential options, and our considered opinion about the best approach moving forward. In the end, as your Dubuque lawyer in criminal defense, we are always working to help you obtain an optimal outcome.
