If you are facing criminal charges, the police and the prosecutor will do everything they can to convict you. This means that the odds are stacked against you from the moment you walk into the courthouse. While you are innocent until proven guilty, you need someone on your side that will advocate for your rights, investigate the circumstances that led to the charges, and present a sound defense if necessary.

Public defenders do their best, but they often juggle a heavy caseload and may not have the time or resources to give your case the individualized attention it requires. An experienced criminal defense attorney at Cofer & Connelly will handle your case with the care and zeal necessary to obtain the most favorable outcome, given your unique circumstances. Make the right call by reaching out to us today for a free consultation.

What Are the Collateral Consequences of a Criminal Conviction?

A criminal conviction can damage you in more ways than you might think. Your most valued relationships could be at stake.

For example, a criminal conviction could result in a loss of child custody or visitiation rights. You may lose your job or professional license and be unable to earn a liveable wage.

In addition, your reputation in the community could be on the line (e.g., a conviction for a sex crime may require you to be placed on a sexual offender registry). You may even be limited in where you can live.
