Whether you’re facing a minor infraction or a serious felony charge, we’re prepared to offer the skilled legal guidance you need to navigate the criminal justice system effectively.
Understanding Your Charges: Misdemeanors, Felonies And Infractions
Criminal charges in Oklahoma generally fall into three categories:
- Misdemeanors: Less serious offenses typically punishable by up to one year in county jail
- Felonies: More serious crimes that can result in state prison sentences of more than one year
- Infractions: Minor violations usually punishable by fines
Understanding the nature of the charges against you is crucial in developing a strong defense strategy. Our attorney can explain the specifics of your case and help you understand the potential implications.
Conviction Consequences: Why A Strong Defense Matters
A criminal conviction can have far-reaching consequences beyond legal penalties. These may include difficulties in finding employment, housing or obtaining professional licenses. Your personal relationships and reputation in the community may also be affected. We work tirelessly to pursue strategies that aim for positive outcomes and minimize these potential impacts on your life.
Common Concerns In Criminal Defense
We understand that facing criminal charges can be overwhelming, and you likely have many questions. Here are answers to two common inquiries we receive:
Can you appeal a criminal conviction?
Yes, in many cases, you can appeal a criminal conviction. The appeals process allows you to challenge legal errors that may have occurred during your trial. Our lawyer can assess your case and guide you through the appeals process, if appropriate.
What is expungement, and how does it work?
Expungement is a legal process that can clear or seal the record of an arrest or conviction. If granted, it can help you move forward without the burden of a criminal record. The eligibility and process for expungement vary depending on the nature of the offense and other factors. Our attorney can evaluate your situation and assist with the expungement process if you qualify.
These are just a few of the questions we commonly address. For more specific information about your case, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our experienced criminal defense attorney.
