CRIMINAL LAW You should understand that even though you may have been charged with some criminal offense, it does not mean that you will necessarily suffer a criminal conviction. In certain cases, it may be possible to get your charges dropped or reduced. Some individuals qualify for pre-trial diversion programs which takes their cases out of the court system and often results in an outright dropping of all charges at the conclusion of the program. Even for those who are not eligible, it still may be possible to avoid a conviction. In any criminal prosecution, the prosecutor has an obligation to provide certain documents and evidence to the defense. Know your rights! In felony cases, the state may not have yet filed the charges against you. In that event, your attorney may be able to negotiate before the charges are filed to increase your chances of avoiding a felony prosecution altogether. Misdemeanor prosecutions can likewise be negotiated and result in lesser charges being filed or even having all the charges dropped in certain situations. Others can expect that their cases may be resolved in a way that will clear them for a record sealing or expungement if they are eligible.
