Effective Criminal Defense for Gross Misdemeanor Charges
Gross misdemeanors are punishable by up to one year in jail and a $5,000 fine. Certain misdemeanor charges require your driver's license to be suspended or revoked following a conviction. Our Lynnwood, Washington, lawyers understand how criminal convictions can affect your ability to:
- Find a new job
- Keep your job
- Rent a home/apartment
- Pay bills and cover expenses
- Possess a firearm
Depending on the case, you could also face expensive penalties, such as high-risk liability insurance (SR-22), expensive counseling (i.e., drug and alcohol or domestic violence counseling) and traffic safety school. Under state law, judges have wide discretion over jail sentences and probationary conditions. We are committed to finding solutions that help minimize your exposure to these and other consequences.
Preparation in Order to Minimize Consequences or Have Charges Dropped
We evaluate the prosecution's evidence to establish its validity or merit. Our top priority is to do everything possible to help you avoid a conviction. We examine legal issues surrounding your charges and aggressively pursue those issues in an effort to prevent conviction and seek dismissal.
Criminal Records in Snohomish County
At Moriarty & Associates, P.L.L.C., we realize that increased public access to criminal records makes finding a job or a place to live even more difficult. Employers and landlords have greater access to view people's criminal convictions and charges than ever before. Convictions, such as theft, shoplifting or assault can be especially harmful in terms of finding employment or renting an apartment. This is one of the reasons we fight hard to prevent convictions and seek dismissal of your case.
