Criminal Defense

At some point, the police officers must decide whether or not to place someone in custody. Your apprehension increases immensely as the cuffs are placed upon your wrists. The law enforcement officers do not decide what criminal charges to file. They merely investigate and describe a version of the facts in a police report. Their report is forwarded to the prosecuting authority, which decides whether or not to file criminal charges against you. That’s when you need an expert on Washington criminal defense.

The severity of the crime determines whether or not you will be facing a misdemeanor charge, a felony charge or multiple charges. Both misdemeanors and felonies can result in time spent behind bars and large fines. Some crimes require mandatory incarceration even if it is your first involvement with the criminal justice system. Other crimes will restrict your driving privilege, and probation conditions will restrict your lifestyle. A driving under the influence (DUI) conviction can involve all of those mandatory restrictions and more. The consequences can be so great your employment, finances and personal relationships will suffer. With so much on the line, don’t trust your defense to anyone but Berner Law Group, PLLC.
