LAKE MARY CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER

WORKING AGGRESSIVELY TO FIGHT CHARGES

If you’ve been accused of committing a criminal offense, act quickly to retain the services of a skilled attorney. Whether you’re facing a misdemeanor or felony charge, the allegations are serious and could have profound effects on your life. If you’re convicted, you could be sentenced to jail or prison and/or be ordered to pay a fine, and these are just the immediately apparent punishments. A guilty verdict can also result in collateral consequences – those that aren’t imposed at sentencing but could impact how you readjust to society after being released from incarceration and paying fines. For instance, the arrest and judgment stay on your criminal record. If you apply for a job, the employer will see that information, and it could affect their final decision.

With the stakes so high, and the State working hard to land a conviction, having a lawyer handle your case can level the playing field and could minimize the impacts of a guilty verdict on your life. At The Wiseman Law Firm, our attorney strongly believes in the presumption of innocence and will fight hard to protect your rights and freedoms. Backed by over 15 years of experience, we know how to effectively handle legal matters of varying complexity and have obtained favorable outcomes for past clients. Additionally, our founding lawyer is a former prosecutor, and we will leverage our knowledge and skills to build a solid legal strategy to fight the charges you’re facing.

WE DEFEND AGAINST MISDEMEANOR AND FELONY CHARGES

In Florida, you could be charged with a misdemeanor or felony offense. Felonies are considered the most serious crimes, but being accused of either level should not be taken lightly. A conviction could damage your reputation, hurt current and future employment, strain relationships, and impact finances. If you’re found guilty of the alleged offense, the incarceration term and fine you face depend on the circumstances of your case. For some sex crime offenses, you might also be required to register as a sex offender if found guilty.

Below are the potential conviction penalties for misdemeanors and felonies in Florida:

• Second-degree misdemeanor: Punishable by up to 60 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $500
