Get Professional Counsel From Our Qualified Bellevue Municipal Court Attorneys

courtIf you think that a misdemeanor conviction will have little effect on your life, you are sorely mistaken. The truth is that misdemeanor convictions often have serious implications that can impact your life in unforeseen ways.

Both misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor crimes are handled in Bellevue Municipal Court, along with infractions and civil violations. If you've been charged or cited with any of these offenses, it will be addressed in Bellevue Municipal Court, and you may even have to appear before a judge.

Before appearing in court, you will want to be fully prepared to tell your version of the events surrounding your arrest. Our Bellevue Municipal Court criminal attorneys will help you prepare for this challenge, while seeking to minimize the penalties associated with your alleged crime.

Bellevue Municipal Court, Punishments, And Your Legal Rights

Most of our Bellevue clients are concerned about the punishments associated with a criminal conviction. If convicted of a misdemeanor, you could incur a jail sentence of up to 90 days and fines of $1,000. Gross misdemeanor convictions for crimes like domestic violence, DUI, or shoplifting, incurs penalties that include up to a year behind bars and fines of $5,000.

Infractions are different from crimes and include parking violations, speeding tickets, and similar offenses. Civil matters often focus on the enforcement of code violations, and are heard by the Bellevue Municipal Court.

The penalties associated with any of these offenses will have significant repercussions on the lives of those convicted. While some may not be evident at first, being unprepared for the end result would be foolish.
