  • Will This Be On My Permanent Record?

    Answer

    Yes. Your criminal record will show your arrest, charge, and conviction (if any). A criminal record will make it difficult for you to secure employment, housing, loans and more. Do not take your arrest lightly. Make the smart choice. Contact our firm to increase your chances of a favorable case outcome.
