Being charged with a crime can be extremely stressful & confusing. You probably have many questions regarding the charge, the possible penalties, and thinking “what’s going to happen to me”, especially if this is your first arrest. At Rushing Law, we understand how scary it can be to find yourself in a legal situation. It is important for you to have an attorney that understands your case and will take the time to answer your questions.
Misdemeanors are offenses that generally carry one year or less in jail. However, there are some misdemeanors that are called “high court misdemeanors” which carry a penalty of up to 2 years in prison.
It is important to have a skilled attorney on your side when facing these charges. A misdemeanor on your criminal record can cause you to miss out on employment opportunities, school opportunities, and many more things. No matter how small or minor you think the charge is, it is important to defend yourself against the charge to protect your future.
There are tactics Rushing Law can use to lessen your charge, gain an acquittal, lessen the penalty, and keep your record clear in certain instances. When it comes to trial, Rushing Law will work effectively and aggressively to challenge the prosecution’s case in front of the jury, provide a strategic defense, and advocate zealously.
