For less severe charges, such as a minor traffic offense, you may be able to successfully navigate the legal process yourself. You will have a lot at stake, however, when you have been charged with a serious crime, including your freedom, your ability to earn a living, and much more.
If there is a possibility that you may serve time for your crime, we strongly recommend that you have legal representation. Keep in mind that even in the case of a less serious offense, a criminal defense attorney will be able to advise you about consequences that may arise in the future, such as higher insurance rates or affects on a professional license.
If you are uncertain whether you can benefit from hiring a Jacksonville criminal defense attorney, Lufrano Legal, P.A., offers free, no-obligation consultations.
