Facing criminal charges for the first time can be an overwhelming experience. You may have never had a run-in with the law before this, and if so, the potential penalties were not as severe as they are now. When faced with misdemeanor charges, the harshest penalty you can expect to receive is a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. Criminal charges, however, have fines that can be hundreds of thousands of dollars and prison sentences that can stretch from a few years to a few decades depending on the severity of the crime. Becoming aware of such information shouldn’t cower you into accepting the first deal you’re offered, but instead, push you to begin your search for a Bartow criminal defense lawyer.
