Due to the severity of their nature, felonies come with extremely stiff penalties that can include prison time (including up to life in prison), astronomical fines, hundreds of hours worth of community service, years of probation, driving restrictions and permanent registry as a sex offender, in the case of sex crimes. In addition to these penalties, a felony conviction will be reflected on your permanent record, making it extremely difficult to find stable employment in a wide variety of career fields.

If convicted of a misdemeanor, and depending on the type and circumstances, you could face up to a year in jail in addition to fines, house arrest, probation, community service, driving restrictions and more.

In some cases, crimes normally filed as misdemeanors are instead charged as felonies, particularly when the circumstances of the crime are deemed especially serious. In instances such as these, a licensed Lunenburg County defense attorney will fight to have your charges dropped to the lowest possible categorization.

Mecklenburg County criminal lawyer

The Mecklenburg County court system can be confusing and complex to anyone who is new to it. If you would like assistance fighting a criminal charge, you should consider contacting a qualified attorney to help establish a solid defense for your case.

There are many different criminal charges including assault, theft, DUI, reckless driving, homicide, carrying a pistol without a license, and drug possession and distribution. Penalties for these charges vary depending on the severity of the crime and defendant's criminal history. The most common forms of court ordered criminal penalties include fines, jail sentences, alcohol and drug treatment programs, and community service. Criminal convictions can affect a person's life in other ways as well, as a person with a criminal record often faces increased insurance premiums and the loss of a driver's license. Child custody and employment status may also be impacted.

In order to convict a person of a crime, the Virginia prosecutor assigned to the case must obtain a substantial amount of evidence. This evidence comes from the criminal investigation conducted by the Mecklenburg County law enforcement officials. The Mecklenburg County police begin their investigation the moment a suspect is stopped and questioned. Before you make any statements to Mecklenburg County law enforcement, you should first exercise your right to a lawyer who will help you protect your privacy and your freedom.
