Lakeland Criminal Defense
Being charged with misdemeanor crimes can carry serious consequences that may affect future employment, education, criminal record, fines, community service, probation, counseling and a maximum of twelve months in jail. Moreover, a misdemeanor conviction can affect your driving privileges, security clearance and some misdemeanors, if committed more than a few times, may led to a felony conviction.
An experienced Lakeland criminal lawyer can make a difference by fighting for a diversion program or negotiate a better plea that reduces consequences. Ultimately, a jury trial can be elected to resolve any case.
