What Clients Are Asking About Nonviolent Crime Charges

Navigating the legal system can be daunting, especially when facing charges for nonviolent crimes. It’s important to understand the nature of these charges and their potential impact on your life. Here are some common questions clients have about nonviolent crime charges:

What are examples of nonviolent crimes?

Nonviolent crimes are offenses that do not involve physical harm to another person. Examples include theft, shoplifting, vandalism, drug possession, fraud, embezzlement and cybercrimes.

How serious are the penalties for white collar crimes like fraud or embezzlement?

White collar crimes, such as fraud or embezzlement, can carry severe penalties. Depending on the scale and impact of the crime, individuals may face substantial fines, restitution payments, probation or even prison time.

Can nonviolent crime charges be expunged from my record?

In many cases, nonviolent crime charges can be expunged, meaning they are removed from your criminal record. However, eligibility for expungement depends on factors like the type of crime, the severity of the offense and whether you’ve completed all court-ordered requirements.

What defenses are available for charges of nonviolent crimes?

Several defenses may be available for nonviolent crime charges, depending on the specifics of the case. Common defenses include lack of intent, mistaken identity, insufficient evidence or entrapment.

How does a conviction for a nonviolent crime affect future employment?

A conviction for a nonviolent crime can impact future employment opportunities. Many employers conduct background checks and may be hesitant to hire someone with a criminal record.

Understanding these aspects is crucial in making informed decisions about your future. Seeking guidance from an attorney can provide you with the support and advice you need during this challenging time.
