5) Theft Crimes: You can be charged for theft if you take property of value from someone else without their consent. This could be done by using force or fraudulent means.
6) Violent crimes include murder, assault and battery, burglary, and any other act involving the use of force or a dangerous weapon. To fight your charges, you will need to provide an aggressive defense.
7) White Collar Crimes – White collar crimes are usually not committed with violence because they are financially motivated. You could still face serious penalties if you are accused of financial fraud, corruption, or other related crime.
8) Juvenile crimes young people are often drawn to the wrong crowd. Our team’s goal is to help your child get a second chance.
9) Infractions: A misdemeanor is a crime that can be punished with a maximum of one year in prison. Simple drug possession, DUI, and other lesser offenses are examples of misdemeanors.
10) Felons: More severe offenses are often considered felonies and can result in a sentence of more than one year in prison. These crimes include rape and violent crimes, as well as drug charges.
11) Federal Criminals: Federal acts can be investigated by federal agencies like the DEA and IRS. You will face federal prosecutors and severe sentencing if you are accused of a federal offense.
What are my rights if I am arrested?
You still have the fundamental rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution, regardless of what crime you were arrested for. When dealing with police officers, you must be aware of your rights and how you should conduct yourself.
You can:
1) Keep silent – Do not try to explain or negotiate the situation. Even if they pressure you, you are not required to reveal any information to police officers. You can politely tell the officers that your attorney will arrive, and you won’t be required to disclose any information.
2) Be aware that your words could be used against – An arresting officer should inform you that any statement you make can be used against you in court.
3) Talk to an attorney – Request to speak immediately with an attorney. Our criminal defense attorney will be able to help you with the situation and defend your rights. Anyone can be held responsible for any violation of the law, even those wearing a badge. Your rights may have been violated during or after your arrest. Tell your attorney. This could play an essential role in your defense and impact the outcome of your criminal case.
