Consequences for a Conviction
Texas takes all criminal charges seriously, no matter the offense, the age of the accused, or the circumstances behind the arrest. This means juveniles can be treated harshly by prosecution, even for temporary lapses in judgment, and defendants of any age can be arrested or accused for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. At The Law Office of Larry P. McDougal, our goal is to protect you from the worst consequences of a criminal conviction while expanding the options that can lead to a dismissal of the charges or a victory at trial.
Whether you’ve been charged with a more minor misdemeanor or a serious felony will depend on many factors, including your prior criminal history or convictions for similar crimes; if you are charged with another offense at the same time, such as a weapons offense in additional to a theft charge; any alleged victims or if minors were involved or harmed when committing the crime; amounts involved, such as the amount of drugs in your possession or the value of goods stolen; and many other factors.
As you can see, criminal charges can be incredibly complex, which is why your Richmond criminal defense attorney needs to put the time and dedication into planning a tailormade defense in line with your particular circumstances. We can analyze the evidence against you, find flaws in the prosecution or the way your arrest was handled, and use our in-depth experience and knowledge of the law to build a strong case on your behalf.
