  • Jail time: With varying sentences depending on the severity of the offense. A conviction can send you to jail for months or even years.
  • Probation: In addition to or in lieu of jail time, the court may sentence you to probation. This can include regular check-ins with a probation officer and/or drug testing, among other conditions.
  • Fines: The court may order you to pay a fine, which can be hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
  • Driver’s license suspension: A DUI conviction can result in the suspension of your driver’s license for up to 10 months.
  • Job loss: A criminal conviction can make finding and keeping a job difficult.
  • Difficulty getting housing: Criminal records are easily accessible, and your landlord may use this information to deny you housing.
  • Difficulty getting a loan: A criminal conviction can make it difficult to get approved for a loan, even if it is for something as simple as a car or a house.

A conviction can also majorly impact your personal life, making it difficult to maintain relationships with family and friends. At the Law Office of Scott C. Thomas, we understand the stakes and are ready to fight for you.
