You Do Not Want a Criminal Record
Being convicted of a crime could cost you your job, limit your future employment opportunities, damage your community standing, impact your ability to get into a school or profession of your choice, and subject you to significant criminal penalties.
Depending on the nature of your charges and your situation, you could be ordered to undergo drug or alcohol treatment, your professional license could be jeopardized, you could be placed on highly restrictive probation, and your eligibility for school loans could be jeopardized. If you have children, a criminal record could even be used against you in a custody battle in divorce proceedings.
Criminal Penalties Can Impact Your Life in Innumerable Ways
Penalties arising from a felony offense could change your life forever. Spending years behind bars could cost you your marriage, your family, your friends, your ties to your local community, and your professional advancement. No one wants to spend the best years of their life in a prison cell. Even after being released from prison, finding work with a felony record is a daunting challenge. Getting back to life as you once knew it may be impossible.
Even the penalties arising from a misdemeanor offense can change your life in many ways. Consequences of a DUI conviction, for example, may include jail time, driver's license suspension, court-ordered alcohol treatment, restrictive terms of probation, significant court fines, a sharp rise in your auto insurance rates, and other adverse consequences.
