Wilmington Misdemeanor Lawyer

Misdemeanor Offenses Still Require Legal Representation!

If you do not take your misdemeanor criminal charges seriously, you may be in for a rude awakening. Contrary popular belief, a misdemeanor conviction can have a serious impact on your life.

If you are facing misdemeanor charges, you should talk to a criminal defense attorney about the potential impact of a conviction as soon as possible. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that because it’s a misdemeanor offense, you don’t need professional representation. Too many have fallen prey to the same misconception and suffered the consequences. Do something about it now while you still have a chance.

What Are the Penalties for Misdemeanor Convictions in North Carolina?

The consequences for a misdemeanor conviction in North Carolina vary depending on a number of factors. However, they may include jail time and fines at the very least. The strength of the state's case, the defendant’s past criminal history, and other factors can influence the outcome of the case.

Act now, before you run out of legal options and are forced to accept penalties mandated by the state. The Wagoner Law Firm, P.L.L.C. can step in, protect your rights and help you seek the most positive outcome possible.

We want to ensure that you know all of the legal options available to you at this time, including what possibilities you face if you attempt to go unrepresented in court. We would also like to caution you against the easy option of using the public defender provided to you by the state, as these professionals rarely have the time or skills needed to adequately prepare a strong defense against your charges.
