Hiring a Criminal Defense Attorney in Weld County Is Important

Hiring a criminal defense attorney is important because it gives you an ally. Your criminal defense attorneys at Martin & Reed, LLC, spend time listening to you, fully investigating all of the matters that could affect your case, and more.

Anyone who is charged with a crime is entitled to an attorney. State defenders are a wonderful tool in our justice system for those who truly need them. Yet, because they are at the mercy of the government’s budget and because they have a Constitutional obligation to fulfill, the attorneys do not always get to spend the necessary time with each client to develop an excellent strategy.

Your criminal defense attorney is also with you any time you’re questioned by law enforcement, investigators, or prosecutors. We’re here to help make sure that they can’t hurt your case by asking you confusing questions. We also communicate with them on your behalf.

Keep in mind that while you’re currently thinking about the criminal charge at hand, the real concern is your future. To protect your future, partner with a defense attorney who can devote the proper time to your case to help get you the best possible outcome.

The Types of Penalties You May Face If You’re Charged with a Crime

If you’re facing your first criminal charge, you may not know what to expect. The truth is that the penalty (or even penalties because many charges, even misdemeanors, can include more than one penalty) depends on the crime and the class. It may also depend on someone’s past criminal history (if they have one) along with any aggravating or mitigating factors. Some of the penalties you could face may include one or a combination of the following:

• Imprisonment. This could be in jail or in prison; the amount of time served can vary based on the crime.
• Probation or parole. Parole comes after imprisonment and probation is given instead of it.
• License suspension. This may occur for DUI, DWAI, and other serious traffic offenses or if you are declared a habitual offender.
• Fines. The fines, depending on the criminal charge, can be extremely expensive. We’re talking about fines that can reach $750,000.
• Community service. Community service is often sentenced along with probation when ordered for certain offenses. This is time spent working for or with certain entities within the community.
• Criminal record. Certain crimes on your record can make it harder to get certain jobs, housing, or gain custody of your children.
