Frequently Asked Questions
Information from a Criminal Defense Attorney
What types of criminal charges do you represent?
At the McGuire Law Firm, our attorneys have experience handling all kinds of criminal offenses. We have represented clients with charges such as Drug Charges, DUI, Multiple DUI Offenses, Vehicular Homicide, Minor in Possession, Public Intoxication, Sexual Assault, Manslaughter, Murder / Homicide, Burglary, Theft, Child Pornography, Juvenile Cases, White Collar Crimes, and Parole Violation.
Can my charges be reduced?
Yes! It is even possible to have them dismissed. A smart criminal defense attorney can negotiate with the judge and prosecution to have the charges against you lowered, which also means less severe penalties. It is important to speak with a criminal defense lawyer to learn what steps you should take prior to the trial to help your case.
Do you represent clients with felony or misdemeanor charges?
Our experienced criminal defense attorneys take cases for both felonies and misdemeanors. No matter the severity of the charge or the evidence against you, we will represent you in court and fight aggressively for your rights.
My child is being charged with a crime. Can you help?
Yes! If your child has been accused of a crime, you should retain a criminal defense lawyer who has experience handling juvenile cases. It is imperative that your child be tried as a minor and not as an adult because the penalties for juvenile crimes are much less severe than those for crimes committed by adults. Also, as long as your child is tried as a minor, it is possible to have his or her record sealed after he or she turns 18. This is to ensure that children are not haunted by mistakes from their youth for the rest of their lives.
