Much is at stake when you are facing criminal charges. Your entire life can be upended with the prospect of jail or prison time, hefty fines, lengthy probation periods, and more. Furthermore, convictions can haunt you for many years to come with a permanent criminal record.
This can cause collateral damage for the future when seeking employment, housing, advanced education, or professional licenses in careers spanning from teaching to pharmacy, nursing, accounting, piloting, real estate, and the trades of electrical, plumbing, and more. If you are a non-citizen, a criminal conviction can adversely affect your immigration status.
