About Felonies and Misdemeanors
Criminal charges are generally separated into two categories: felony offenses and misdemeanor offenses. Depending upon the specific circumstances of your case, you will be charged with one or the other. In some cases involving multiple criminal charges, you may find yourself facing counts of both types of charges. Additionally, a third type of criminal charge, which is rarely disputed, is an infraction of the law. An infraction can include a speeding ticket or a curfew ticket in some cases. However, it is important to talk to an attorney about these charges as well; too many speeding tickets can and will lead to a license suspension and increased insurance rates for a person who fails to take legal action. Despite the charges you are facing, it is always strongly suggested to talk to an attorney from our firm. You may potentially face up to a year of imprisonment for a misdemeanor and even longer for a felony conviction. Click here to read more about felonies and misdemeanors.
Why hire a local attorney?
Most people searching for a criminal lawyer aren't aware of the significant advantage that is available to them when they hire an attorney that is local to their area. To be clear, most criminal attorneys take cases in nearly all courts and counties throughout the state regardless of whether they have any experience practicing in those counties.
Getting the best result for your case is likely to come from a lawyer that spends significantly more time within the courts they visit the most. The attorneys at Hager & Schwartz have a reputation in the courts that is second to none. They are known as aggressive, zealous advocates for their clients in all criminal cases, which can make a tremendous difference in the outcome of your case.
Local attorneys are familiar with the courts and the prosecutors likely to be working on your case. It is important that you have the best possible chance at success in your case. If you have a defense attorney working your case who knows exactly what to expect from the prosecuting attorney, your case could greatly benefit. The outcome of your criminal case could result in a drastic and negative change in your life or it could result in little to no change. It is your attorney's goal to help get you the outcome that results in the least amount of negative change in your life and that of your family.
