Most people do not realize that there are many defenses to criminal charges. It is all too common for an accused person to simply appear in court and plead guilty without understanding the full impact of the consequences of his or her admission. The result of a guilty plea can cause you to have a permanent record of your crime which can affect present and future employment, not to mention the fines, court cost and jail time. Before entering a guilty plea, there are many items and options that should be considered. Contact the Law Offices of James S.
