Misdemeanor Crimes in Kent

Every Criminal Charge Should Be Treated Seriously, So Get Help From Our Kent Misdemeanor Criminal Attorneys

Many people underestimate the severity of a misdemeanor charge. A conviction for a crime like trespassing, petty theft, public intoxication or assault could dramatically affect your life. The Kent misdemeanor attorneys at the Law Office of Jason S. Newcombe will help protect your legal rights as you deal with the courts. Other common misdemeanor offenses in Kent include:

  • DUI (Driving Under the Influence)
  • Indecent Exposure
  • Vandalism
  • Domestic Violence

A misdemeanor conviction may or may not include jail time, and often incurs penalties like expensive fines, probation, mandated community service, and the acquisition of a criminal record. It could also make it difficult for you to find work, obtain a loan, or even find a place to live.

Young people charged with drug or alcohol-related misdemeanors may find it hard to get a head start in life. In cases that involve youthful indiscretion, our Kent misdemeanor lawyers aggressively pursue all legal options to prevent the accused from acquiring a criminal record. If you're looking for a lawyer whom you can trust with sensitive legal issues, contact our Kent law office today.
