Criminal Penalties Can Be Serious
Even a traffic ticket can result in costly and inconvenient penalties, including fines and points accumulated on your driving record, which can lead to the suspension of your driver’s license. Your insurance rates may also be increased for a moving violation and you may not qualify for jobs that require a clean driving record. More serious criminal charges can result in consequences including the following:
- Fines
- Probation
- Mandatory substance abuse treatment
- Jail time
- Driver’s license suspension and
- Community service requirements
In addition to the above penalties that are imposed by the court, a criminal conviction on your record can affect many aspects of your life. Certain convictions can limit your professional opportunities, your ability to obtain financial aid, your immigration status, and more. These effects of a criminal conviction are often long-lasting and can significantly increase the penalties for any subsequent convictions. Do not risk your freedom and future by trying to handle your case on your own. Instead, call criminal defense attorney Jill Coil as soon as possible.
