CRIMINAL CHARGES
Being accused of a crime is a serious matter that can have long lasting affects of your life. If you have been charged with committing a crime you may face significant punishment and consequences beyond what is obvious. The possibility of jail, probation or a monetary fine is only the tip of the iceberg. A criminal conviction could prevent you from obtaining a loan, a job or a professional license. When facing criminal prosecution every decision you make matters. Let the lawyers at Green & Brenneck help you understand what defenses you may have, what weaknesses there are in the prosecution’s case and what the potential consequences are so that you can make the right decisions from the beginning.
D.W.I.
Most of us rely on ourselves and our vehicles for transportation to get to and from work, for recreation and to provide for our families. Being accused of any alcohol or drug related driving offense jeopardizes your ability to do those essential things. All too often people, police officers and some defense lawyers think that a D.W.I. is a simple matter. You pay your fine get a conditional license for a few months and you move on. Unfortunately, that simply is not the case. With the recent changes is DMV regulations the ability to maintain your driving privileges has become a complicated matter requiring navigation through several new regulations aimed at revoked or suspended driving privileges for extended periods of time. Even the first offender needs to understand these matters so as to avoid any further risk or collateral consequences. Not every case is the same but every case has some of the same risks and you need to know them before you decide how you should proceed. At Green & Brenneck we will review your case and make sure you understand what you are facing and how to obtain the best outcome possible.
TRAFFIC TICKETS
The failure to properly address a simple traffic ticket could result in criminal charges or the loss of your license. Many times we can handle simple traffic tickets without you having to appear in the court where the ticket is returnable. However, if the ticket you were issued is a misdemeanor you may be required to appear in Court. If you believe you are required to appear in court or you are not sure call one of our team members and we will walk you through the process. If you have a simple traffic ticket please follow this link to the Ticket Taker so that we may handle you ticket(s) in the most efficient manner possible.
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION
If you have been contacted by a police or law enforcement agency and believe that you may be the subject a police investigation it is imperative that you know your rights before you answer any questions or volunteer any information. You need to know your rights not just think you know your rights. In addition to explaining what rights you may have we may be able to advise you regarding potential consequences and risks. Speak with one of our team members so that you understand what is at stake and how to best proceed. Quite often you can have a lawyer help facilitate a meeting or gather additional information to help you decide if you should speak with any law enforcement official. In other situations you may have been directed by a police officer to surrender yourself for arrest. We may be able to assist with the surrender and help achieve a bail or your release from custody after you have been arraigned or issued an appearance ticket.
PROFESSIONAL LICENSE
If you have a professional license or are in the processing of obtaining one or you are enrolled in school where the end goal is to apply for a professional license and you have been accused of committing a crime you face a unique set of circumstances.
