If you are facing malicious mischief charges in Seattle you probably have some questions about what could happen to you. Malicious mischief is also known as property destruction and it’s broken down into separate degrees of severity, each with its own criteria and set of punishments. If you’ve been charged with any of these crimes, it’s a good idea to get specific information about your case from one of our Seattle malicious mischief lawyers.

First Degree Malicious Mischief is a Class B felony charged to persons who damage property valued in excess of $5,000. The penalties for a first degree conviction include up to a $20,000 fine and ten years in prison.

Second Degree Malicious Mischief is a Class C felony for destruction of property valued between $750 and $5,000. The fine associated with this crime is up to $10,000 and a prison sentence no more than five years in length.

Being charged with any crime is an overwhelming experience that can make it feel like there is little hope, but our Seattle malicious mischief attorneys can reveal legal options that you might not realize exist.

For instance, before the severity of your crime can be determined the prosecutor will have to prove the monetary value of any property that was allegedly destroyed. Obviously, this is far from an exact science, so the goal of your professional litigator will be to minimize the penalties you face and obtain a more favorable outcome.

You probably have some questions you would like to have answered, but not know which way to turn. Don’t let the stress of a criminal charge keep you from contacting someone who can help. Call one of our Seattle malicious mischief lawyers as soon as you can. Time is always an issue, and a suitable defense will require legwork, investigation, and preparation.
