How to Fight Criminal Charges

The best way to fight criminal charges depends on several factors, including whether:

  • The charge is a misdemeanor or felony.
  • The accused has a history of misdemeanor or felony convictions.
  • The accused has a history of mental illness or victimization, such as abuse.
  • Another person was injured or killed as a result of the alleged crime.
  • Property was damaged as a result of the alleged crime.
  • …and countless other considerations.
