Aggressive Representation for Your Criminal Law Case

Regardless of your identity, origin, and status, you are entitled to certain rights if you are living in the United States. It’s the duty of the police and the District Attorney to protect your rights, as specified by the Constitution.

However, if you have been charged with a criminal offense, it can happen that your criminal case may be mishandled by the government, or the Statute of Limitations may have run out by the time you go to court.

In such a situation you need an attorney who can fight for your rights and provide the strong representation you need for your criminal case. Turn to The James Hernandez Law Firm, PLLC for criminal defense services. Whether it’s a small ticket or a large felony case, our knowledgeable attorney and his team will strive to protect your rights.

Misdemeanors

Ranging from A to C with A being the highest, misdemeanors are crimes that are punishable by up to one year in jail.

• Class A misdemeanor cases are punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of $4000
• Class B cases are punishable by a fine of up to $2000 and up to 180 days in jail
• Class C cases are punishable by a fine of up to $500 with no jail time

Felonies

Felony cases carry larger fines and longer sentences as they are crimes of a more serious nature as compared to misdemeanors. The major types of felonies are as follows:

• State Jail Felonies are punishable by up to 2 years in jail and a fine of up to $10,000
• Capital Felonies are punishable by life imprisonment or even the death penalty.

The impact of a felony conviction can be harsh. Along with the prison sentence and fine, the prisoner will lose their right to vote and right to own and carry weapons, including firearms.

Hence, it is important to have the right attorney on your side, who can work on your behalf if you feel you have been wrongly charged with a felony offense. Reach out to Attorney James for a FREE consultation on your felony case. Our attorney and his team will use their knowledge and resources to make sure your rights are protected.

Relief

Unlike what is seen on TV shows, not every case may go to trial. In many situations, a case may end without a win or loss. Your attorney may negotiate on your behalf to obtain a Pre-Trial Intervention, Deferred Adjudication, or Probation.

If you agree to a Pre-Trial Intervention, you would need to comply with some requests from the District Attorney, following which your case will get dismissed within a year.

Once you consult our attorney, you’ll be in a better position to determine what’s best for you. Call us or request a call back to schedule your FREE consultation.
