Defending You Against Serious Criminal Allegations
If you have been charged with a crime, you might be confused and concerned about how this will affect your life, your family, your job and others around you. Whether you are charged with a DUI or DWI, a drug charge, assault, theft or any other criminal charge, you need an experienced criminal defense lawyer to protect you.
Even if this is your first offense, the penalties can be very serious, potentially resulting in thousands of dollars in fees and even incarceration. Some charges can haunt you for years by restricting your driving privileges, limiting your employment eligibility and more. The determined, results-oriented criminal defense lawyers at Clary | Suba | Neale can help make sure that you are either acquitted or that your penalties are reduced as much as possible.
It is important to keep in mind that according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, approximately 50% of those incarcerated in federal and state prisons abuse or are addicted to drugs. Because substance abuse and alcoholism often play a significant role in criminal activity, many jurisdictions have set up recovery programs in lieu of incarceration to assist people crippled by addiction. If you are a viable candidate for an abuse recovery program, it is very important that you have an attorney by your side to help ensure that you are afforded the alternative of an abuse recovery program.
A Few Important Things To Know About Criminal Defense
- Choosing a private criminal defense lawyer is the best way to achieve the most favorable results possible. Although the state or the government is required to provide a lawyer for the accused, a private lawyer who is devoted to your case can make all the difference between a harsh sentence, a lenient one or acquittal.
- According to a report by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, defendants found guilty but who used private counsel were less likely to be sentenced to incarceration than were defendants found guilty but who used publically financed counsel. This difference is even larger for trials in large state courts than in federal district courts.
