Protecting Your Rights if You Are Charged With a Crime
Criminal charges of any kind are serious. Even a misdemeanor conviction can result in a lifetime criminal history, which can affect your ability to find or keep a job. A conviction of a felony charge carries a much greater stigma and will result of the loss of rights we all take for granted, such as owning firearms and voting.
Once the wheels of justice start to turn in a criminal case, the process won't stop on its own. You should hire an experienced lawyer to guide you through it.
Brazoria County criminal defense attorney Thad Davis defends people charged with all types of misdemeanor and felony charges, including:
- DWI defense: In Texas, drunk driving laws have become stricter and the punishments more severe in recent years. As a result, few people can afford a DWI conviction.
- Drug charges: The experience of your lawyer may make the difference between being convicted of drug possession charges and having those charges dismissed.
- Juvenile offenses: While juvenile records are somewhat "sealed", a finding of delinquency can be used against you in future criminal proceedings. A juvenile adjudication can also be seen by law enforcement and/or the military if you choose to make either a career. It is important to have an experience juvenile attorney to make sure these concerns are addressed.
The criminal justice process can be overwhelming, especially if this is the first time you have been charged with a crime. To protect your rights and your future, contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.
