Why You Need a Criminal Defense Attorney

Hiring a criminal defense lawyer is one of the most important things you can do when charged with a crime. They are here to protect your rights and prevent you from being taken advantage of by investigators. Exercising your right to remain silent and having your lawyer speak on your behalf can help keep you from saying something the police may use against you later. Investigators are trained to interrogate individuals, and it may be tempting to speak to them to clear your name. However, investigators also know that average citizens often lack knowledge of the laws and their rights and will often use this against them. That’s why it’s best to call a lawyer right away to have them represent you.

Types of Criminal Charges

Because there are so many different criminal charges, each one is categorized based on its severity. Depending on where your charge falls on this scale, the punishment will be lighter or more severe. Our legal team will ensure that you get the best defense so that you do not face harsher penalties. We’ll also help you better understand the charge and the potential consequences you are facing. This will help you decide how to proceed with your case. Most criminal charges are categorized as one of the following:

  • Felony Crimes: A felony charge is reserved for more serious crimes that often involve the theft of violence toward another individual. This may include charges of robbery, home invasion, rape, etc. Without an experienced lawyer, a felony charge can lead to a conviction and result in significant jail time or fines.
  • Misdemeanor Crimes: Misdemeanor crimes are less serious than felony charges and often carry less severe punishments. However, they should still be taken seriously. If convicted of a misdemeanor, you can still face jail time and fines.

Don’t Let a Criminal Record Affect Your Life

Unfortunately, criminal charges come with consequences that last beyond any jail time, probation, or fines. These charges go on your permanent record and will be seen by potential employers, landlords, universities, and financial institutions when they complete background checks. They can make it harder for you to find housing, a job, or qualify for financial aid. If you don’t want your criminal charges affecting the rest of your life, you need to hire an experienced lawyer. Stenger, Glass, Hagstrom, Lindars & Iuele LLP will ensure you get the representation you require, as we will work hard for a fair outcome for you.
