CRIMINAL LAW
Criminal law involves defending individuals who have been
charged by the State with a violation of law. There are
various types of charges brought by the State. An
infraction, such as a speeding ticket, has a fixed fine
amount. Some driving related tickets, such as a first
offense no insurance ticket, can affect your driving
status. A misdemeanor carries potential for jail time. A
felony carries the potential of more than a year in jail.
A good defense attorney will ensure the State abided by the
constitutional rights in charging you with the violation.
In addition, the defense attorney will work for you to
ensure you receive a fair sentence for the particular
violation. The consequences of being charged by the state
can be great – loss of driving privileges, incarceration,
fines, probation, counseling, drug testing, etc. Alan has
