As the warm summer months continue to march forward, people are going to have parties and other activities. In many cases, these activities are going to involve alcoholic beverages. It is imperative that you take the consumption of alcohol seriously and make sure that you are acting in a responsible manner.
We know that things happen, especially when there is alcohol involved. If you end up facing criminal charges because of something that happened while you were intoxicated, we can help you to explore your defense options.
The options that you have for your defense vary depending on what charge you are facing. If you are answering to a felony charge, you need to take time to think about how a conviction can impact your life. Not only will you face the penalties of the criminal justice system, you will also have to deal with all of the challenges that come with being labeled a felon.
When you are thinking about your options, you need to consider what you want your defense to do. You might consider a plea deal if you know that you did the criminal act that you are accused of. This could potentially help you to keep the penalties you face to a minimum.
If you vehemently deny that you committed the crime, you can choose to fight through the criminal trial. In this case, you will need to determine what strategy you will employ and work to build up the points of your case. Ultimately, you are the one who has to decide what direction your case is going to take.
