Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer for a misdemeanor?
Yes—misdemeanors can carry jail, probation, fines, and long-term record impacts. A targeted strategy can
protect your future.
Can charges be dismissed?
Sometimes. It depends on the facts, legal issues (like unlawful stops or searches), and the strength of the
evidence. We pursue dismissal where justified and negotiate alternatives when strategic.
What if I have a protection order?
Follow it strictly. We can request modifications for work, childcare, or residence needs when appropriate.
Will a conviction be on my record forever?
Some cases qualify for record sealing after waiting periods. We can evaluate eligibility and handle the
filings.
