Drug offenses

Drug charges of any kind are serious and can result in lengthy prison sentences, loss of your job and livelihood and a permanent criminal record.

Assault

Assault charges are serious and could result in jail time, protective orders, job loss and a permanent criminal record, especially if there are prior convictions.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence charges often arise from heated moments at home and can happen to anyone. Possible consequences include protective orders, jail time and limits on seeing your children.

Juvenile Charges

Juvenile cases involve minors charged with offenses ranging from truancy to felonies. These cases carry unique consequences that can impact school, jobs, and future opportunities.

Weapons Charges

Gun-related and other weapon charges frequently result in mandatory jail time, and they may have federal implications, especially for those who have prior criminal convictions.
