Consequences of Criminal Convictions

A criminal conviction has immediate and far reaching consequences. It labels you as a criminal. If you are found guilty, you will carry this label for the rest of your life. Listed below are some possible consequences of criminal convictions.

• Civil liberties: If convicted of a felony, violent offense, sex crime or a misdemeanor, you face the possibility of losing your liberty, losing your right to vote or the right to carry a firearm.
• Employment: A criminal conviction could affect employment status (e.g. security clearances), especially if you are convicted of a violent crime or theft crime, involving auto theft, embezzlement, larceny or shoplifting.
• Driving privileges: You could lose your driving privileges and your right to maintain a drivers license, especially in cases involving DUI and drunk-driving, reckless driving and traffic offenses.
• Legal status: Criminal charges can have impact on individuals who are lawful permanent residents, holders of temporary protected status, and holders of non-immigrant visas who are trying to stay in the country, especially in cases involving assault, violent crimes and drug charges.

We Address the Unique Demands of Your Case to Achieve Successful Results

Every criminal case is unique and could affect the rights of a defendant differently. If you need a commercial driver's license for employment, you could lose your job upon conviction. If you are convicted of a sex crime or Internet solicitation of a minor, you will be forced to register as a sex offender. Our attorneys will look at the facts of your case and identify defenses and the potential consequences of a conviction. We will ensure that your rights are adequately protected.

Remember, if you are being investigated for a crime, never speak to the police without an attorney. After being charged or arrested, you do have a number of constitutional rights that you need to assert immediately. You need an attorney to investigate your case as soon as possible, to develop defense strategies well in advance of trial to preserve evidence and testimony.
