Consequences of a Criminal Matter


When we think of the consequences of criminal matters, it makes sense that the first thing we think of is jail or prison time. However, criminal matters bring many other types of consequences. These consequences can affect your life and the lives of those you love, just as much as jail time.

The Difference Between Certain Consequences

For instance, being convicted of certain crimes can also affect your ability to find a job or keep your current job, and your ability to own or possess firearms. Besides losing your freedom, you could end up paying thousands of dollars in fees and fines that cause you to lose your home and other belongings. Jail time is not a consequence anyone looks forward to, but when you think about it, a criminal conviction can result in other losses that many would consider just as bad.

Misdemeanors: Just as Serious as Felonies

While all criminal cases are serious matters, you may wonder if yours is serious enough to warrant seeking assistance. Misdemeanors often involve less serious penalties and may not affect your life as harshly as a felony. However, there is still a possibility that your consequences can be even less severe if you have the right criminal defense attorney on your side.

Same Amount Of Effort Into Misdemeanor Cases

Even petty misdemeanor cases that may potentially involve fines or community service should be taken seriously to allow you the best future possible. You can’t afford to risk letting even a misdemeanor change your life completely. And you shouldn’t have to suffer the consequences for the rest of your life.

At the very least, your criminal defense attorney can give you an idea of what you can expect from your case, as well as answer any questions you have throughout the process. This assistance alone won’t fix anything, but in many cases, it can alleviate some of the worry and pressure. Don’t give up hope simply because you are facing a criminal charge.

The Benefits of A Criminal Defense Law Firm


No law firm can guarantee acquittal or promise you won’t be convicted. Having a qualified and experienced criminal defense lawyer in your corner, however, can guarantee that you receive fair and legal treatment. This could result in the best outcome possible for your situation.

We Can Help You

Additionally, with experience comes the knowledge of what is required to navigate the court system. It also comes with the skill to investigate and gather any evidence that might help you get a lesser charge with fewer consequences. With criminal cases, you have too much to lose. Don’t leave it up to the courts and other professionals who won’t necessarily have your best interests in mind.

The Importance Of Negotiation


It isn’t just the experience and reputation that are important in successfully representing criminal case. A skilled criminal defense attorney in Las Vegas must also be equipped with inherent negotiation skills in order to get the best results for his clients.  Craig Drummond is a defense lawyer who has proven that he has the skills and knowledge to aggressively negotiate the best deal for you in and out of the courtroom. When it comes to your freedom, you can’t risk putting it in the hands of someone who may agree to an unfavorable deal simply because he/she doesn’t have the confidence and skills required to negotiate the best possible results for your case.
