Do you accept payment plans?

Amount of payment and method of payment will vary depending on the facts of your case. However, we know no one plans financially for being accused of a crime, so we have worked with clients to arrange payment plans under certain circumstances.

What type of punishment am I facing?

The punishment for a conviction depends on the nature of your charge and your criminal history. While defenses and alternatives may apply, here’s an overview of potential sentences: Misdemeanors can result in up to 11 months and 29 days in jail and fines up to $2,500. Felonies range from Class E (1-6 years, $3,000 fine) to Class A (15-60 years, $50,000 fine).
