If you’ve been charged with a criminal offense, you will need to do everything in your power to defend your rights and protect your future.
There can be lasting, disastrous consequences for a conviction of any criminal charge. Regardless of the immediate penalties, including those mandated by mandatory minimum sentences, the long-term effects of having a criminal conviction on your record may be far more severe.
