Types of Criminal Defense Cases

The charges against an individual dictate the possible sentences and punishments he/she faces, should he/she be convicted. While misdemeanors filed at the state level tend to be less serious and carry lighter sentences, felony charges (especially those at the federal level) are the most serious types of charges that can, upon conviction, require a convict to:

• serve lengthy prison sentences
• pay crippling fines
• lose their career and/or close personal relationships
• have a permanent criminal record
• serve community service
• suffer extreme stress, anxiety and humiliation

Types of criminal charges may include:

• drug crimes, such as trafficking and possession
• property crimes, such as arson and theft
• sex crimes, such as rape and molestation
• traffic crimes, such as DUI and vehicular manslaughter
• violent crimes, such as homicide and manslaughter
