Probation Violations
In some cases, people who are convicted of crimes are put on probation. Probation may be supervised or unsupervised, and can include many different provisions that restrict the activity of the person on probation. Violating these terms can result in a probation violation charge, which can carry consequences including revocation of probation and extended sentencing.
Juvenile Offenses
Juvenile offenses are crimes committed by people under the age of 18. Juvenile offenses sometimes carry consequences that are less severe than offenses committed by adults, but this is not always the case.
Criminal Appeals
Appeals give people convicted of crimes that opportunity to have a previous decision reconsidered. A case can be appealed based on evidence of misconduct during the original trial.
Expungements
Through an expungement, the record of a criminal offense can be erased. This may be an option for you.
