We Work To Mitigate The Consequences
The criminal penalties and collateral consequences of a misdemeanor conviction can have a serious and lasting impact on your life. Many offenses carry the possibility of jail time. A misdemeanor on your record can affect college enrollment, scholarships and financial aid, as well as job opportunities, housing, lending or even volunteering in your community.
The criminal defense lawyers of Blount Law Firm conduct a thorough review of the charges and the government’s case against you. Through prompt intervention, we may be able to convince the prosecuting attorney to drop the charges or reduce the charges to a lesser offense. We explore alternatives to a conviction, such as diversion programs, that keep the misdemeanor off your record if you adhere to the court’s terms. We argue for alternatives to jail such as probation, fines, restitution and community service. Our goal is to minimize the immediate penalties and prevent a regrettable episode from ruining your future. And our lawyers are prepared to defend you at trial if you cannot afford a conviction.
