Criminal Defense Lawyer in Youngstown, Ohio
Aggressive Representation From Mahoning County Criminal Attorneys
If you were arrested and charged with a criminal offense, you may be feeling a range of emotions. You might feel scared, anxious, or uncertain about the future. You may feel embarrassed, ashamed, or even guilty about your actions. It is important to remember that being charged with a crime does not make you a bad person; it simply means that you have made a mistake or broken the law. It is important to stay calm, seek legal advice and stay positive in order to move forward in the best possible way.
Criminal convictions have serious consequences, especially for immigrants. U.S. citizens face high fines, losing their driver's license, and jail time. Immigrants also face deportation.
