Potential Penalties for a Criminal Conviction

The precise penalties you face if convicted will depend mainly on several factors, including the nature of the crime, your criminal history, your probability of re-offending, and the victim. Generally speaking, convicted individuals typically face a combination of:

• • Incarceration,

• • Fines and fees,

• • Loss of license,

• • Restitution payments,

• • House arrest,

• • Community service,

• • Drug or alcohol counseling,

Your attorney can discuss more precisely the potential punishments you face in light of the charges against you.

Defenses to Criminal Charges

There are several possible defenses to criminal charges. These include:

• • Self-defense,

• • Defense of others or property,

• • Alibi,

• • Mistaken identity, and

• • Extreme duress.

Your defensive strategy will depend on your case’s specific facts and circumstances. When you meet with our Wildomar criminal defense lawyer, we will discuss defenses to the accusations against you.

Importance of Seeking Representation Early

Perhaps more so than in any other type of legal proceeding, it is vital to seek early and immediate legal representation in a criminal matter. From the moment you are arrested or charged, anything you say can be used at your trial later.

We strongly encourage anyone detained to ask for an attorney immediately. You should not participate in a police interrogation without counsel present.

However, it is never too late, even if you did not immediately request an attorney. You are entitled to counsel through every stage of a criminal proceeding and can obtain a lawyer at any time. You want to hire a lawyer as soon as possible so they may advise you on what to say, not to say, and the overall best course of action.
