Take felony crime allegations seriously... Prosecutors do!
If you have been accused of a felony crime, make sure you take the charges seriously. Seek experienced legal counsel so you may be made fully aware of your legal rights, legal options, and potential defense strategies.
While the goal is to have the felony charges dismissed or dropped, this is not always possible. Having experienced legal counsel fighting for you may provide you the best possible resolution relating to the felony charges that you are facing.
If getting the felony crime charges dismissed or dropped is not possible, experienced legal counsel will seek a diversion program (if one is available and you are eligible), seek a lesser charge in a plea deal, try to negotiate for probation instead of incarceration, and if the case is destined for trial, experienced legal counsel will aggressively fight for your rights and freedoms.
