Will My Criminal Case Go to Court?

judge in the court

If you have been charged with a crime, you may be wondering if your case will go to court. While every situation is different, there are some general factors that can help you understand the likelihood of your criminal case going to trial.

One factor to consider is the severity of the charge. Less serious charges, such as misdemeanors, are less likely to go to trial than more serious felonies. This is because misdemeanors tend to carry lighter penalties, so there is less at stake for both the prosecution and the defense. Another factor to consider is whether you are represented by a strong attorney. If you have a strong lawyer, like one of the lawyers at our law firm, we will try to negotiate a plea deal on your behalf or get your charges dropped entirely, helping you avoid court.

What are the Possible Penalties for a Criminal Conviction?

client is signing papers with lawyer

The penalties you may face due to a criminal conviction will depend highly on the severity of the crime as well as your criminal history. For example, a misdemeanor charge will likely result in less severe penalties than a felony charge. However, if you have been previously convicted of a crime, you may face harsher penalties for any subsequent conviction, even if it is for a less serious offense.

Penalties for criminal convictions can range from probation to fines to jail time, though most punishments will fall somewhere in between these two extremes. Essentially, the more severe your crime is, the more likely you are to face jail time as a penalty. However, even if you are facing a misdemeanor charge, you may still be subject to significant penalties, including probation, community service, and mandatory counseling.

If you are facing a criminal charge, it is important to speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney who can help you understand the potential penalties you may be facing and help you build the strongest possible defense against those charges.
