Dunning Law Group defends clients against both misdemeanor and felony charges.
One of life's most frightening experiences is to have the government charge you or your loved ones with a crime. Even a few months in jail can devastate a life, while a criminal record can prevent getting any gainful employment.
Crimes are charged as Felonies or Misdemeanors. In general, Felonies are crimes that carry a potential sentence of one or more years in prison while misdemeanors involve potential time in county jail. Both usually include fines.
Unfortunately, in our adversarial system, the state prosecutor may have no problem charging a felony for something that should only be a misdemeanor, or request jail time when a small fine or probation is more appropriate. It is not uncommon that the charges should never have been brought in the first place. Failure to hire the best criminal lawyer almost always results in a conviction that could have been minimized by a competent defense.
Attorneys at the Dunning Law Group have over 30 years experience practicing criminal law, including both misdemeanors and felonies.
