Will I Lose My Job and Family?
If you’re facing criminal charges, it might seem like your life has been flipped upside down. Questions about your future and your reputation are probably running through your head all the time. You’re worried that this charge could result in you losing your job, or worse, your family. Now is the time to be clear headed and calm about how to move forward.
You Have Options
There are ways to handle criminal charges without causing serious damage to your professional and personal lives. With the help of a great defence lawyer, you should discuss what particular options you might have. Depending on the details of your case, you could:
- Have your charges dropped or withdrawn,
- Avoid a criminal record, or
- Find alternatives to jail.
When an accused person is worried about losing their job or family, he/she is often concerned about discretion. Many accused people do not want family, friends or co-workers knowing about their charge(s). We understand that.
Some charges result in a release condition prohibiting communication between the accused person and his/her family. You must comply with this condition, but it is important to discuss it and your circumstances with a criminal defence lawyer. There may be a strategy that can be used to have the condition changed or to have exceptions allowed.
At Auger Hollingsworth, we help many of our clients handle their cases quickly and quietly. We develop strategies tailored to the needs and wants of our clients, and we work quickly to resolve cases in the best way possible. That can often mean building a compelling case and settling the matter before a public trial.
To get the best sense of where you stand and what your options are, it is always best to consult with a qualified criminal defence lawyer.
