25+ Years Experience
When it comes to reducing the consequences of criminal charges on an individual’s life, the swiftness with which one secures legal counsel is pivotal. Anyone facing allegations of criminal activity must not let fear and confusion stop them from acting promptly in their own defense.
Failing to take action will leave the accused vulnerable to being deprived of their liberty, their financial resources, and possibly their way of life. If you have been charged with an offense in the state of Texas and are ready to take affirmative steps to safeguard your most precious rights, an Abilene criminal lawyer can help. A skilled defense lawyer in Odessa can work hard to fight for your rights.
Depending on the type of crime charged, the possible ramifications can include a few days in jail, monetary sanctions, or even imprisonment.
In addition, persons who are convicted of crimes may be subjected to revocation of their licenses, lose their ability to own a firearm, and face social stigma. Crimes commonly associated with severe punishments which demand the aid of a seasoned criminal attorney in Abilene include:
Depending on whether the offense in question is categorized as a felony or a misdemeanor pursuant to Texas Penal Code Title 3, Chapter 12, the lasting impact of a conviction can be devastating to entire families.
As anyone who has ever faced criminal allegations will certainly attest, the time immediately following arrest and arraignment can be a whirl of anxiety, uncertainty and in some cases, sheer panic. This is particularly true for those who have never before found themselves in a similar position before.
However, paralysis is the enemy, and the faster concrete action is taken to identify an aggressive Odessa criminal lawyer prepared to zealously defend the rights of the accused, the better the chances of a positive outcome.
It is crucial to remember that according to Texas Penal Code Title 1, Chapter 2, the state must prove every element of a given offense beyond a reasonable doubt in order to secure a conviction. By attacking the validity of the initial arrest or the evidence gathered by law enforcement, it may be possible to have what might otherwise be damning evidence excluded altogether.
An effective Abilene criminal defense attorney will employ deft negotiation and plea bargaining skills in situations where outright dismissal of a criminal charge appears impossible. By highlighting evidentiary weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, a lawyer can help the accused reclaim his or her normal life as soon as possible.
The period following initiation of criminal charges has likely left you feeling alarmed, uncertain and possibly even without hope overcoming the challenges you now face. However, by obtaining an Odessa criminal lawyer, you can obtain the legal defense you are entitled to. To start working on your defense, contact an attorney with our firm.
