Criminal Defense
Criminal defense involves protecting our clients who are being prosecuted by the government for acts that have been deemed by local, state or federal law to be criminal. More serious offenses, such as homicide, burglary, drug offenses, and assaults, are considered felonies, which can bring incarceration from more than a year to life imprisonment. Less serious offenses, such as disorderly conduct, retail theft, and some types of drug possession are generally misdemeanors. A misdemeanor is punishable by up to a year in jail, fines, or both. A finding of guilt by a judge or jury can result in a loss of your liberty, property, and in in certain situations, even your job.
Our firm works hard to defend you against criminal charges, to limit jail time and fines. When we intervene early in an investigation we often can prevent charges from ever being filed. We can reduce or eliminate bail bond amounts to help keep clients out of jail while their case is pending. We conduct a thorough investigation and present a realistic assessment of each case. We negotiate a plea agreement when warranted and will not hesitate to go to trial to bring clients the best possible conclusion. Gegner Law Office offers representation for a wide array of criminal offenses, including, but not limited to:
