Being arrested and charged with a crime is a frightening experience. The consequences of a conviction can impact every aspect of your life. In some cases, even an accusation can have negative consequences. The criminal defense lawyers at Hoffman Walker & Knauf work to minimize the impact of a criminal charge through experienced legal representation. Whether we work to get a case dismissed, achieve an acquittal or seek alternative sentencing, we have a strong track record of preventing criminal charges from upending our clients’ lives.
Having a criminal conviction on your record will have a long-standing negative effect on both you and your family. A felony conviction can lead to the loss of your job and the loss of your freedom. A conviction even on lesser offenses may result in the loss of a professional license, difficulty finding employment, difficulty in leasing apartments, eviction from public housing or ineligibility for educational loans.
