Charges Our Loveland Criminal Defense Lawyers Can Help Defend Against

The Loveland criminal defense lawyers of Joyner Law represent clients against a variety of criminal charges. Our goal is to help you have your charges reduced or dropped so that you can avoid the worst of the penalties associated with these infractions. We can help defend you against charges such as:

• Assault: Assault charges can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony depending on the circumstances of the incident(s). Factors such as the severity of injuries, the use of a weapon, and whether or not the assault took place against a peace officer will determine the level of penalties you will be facing. Depending on the specifics of the charges leveled against you, you could be facing consequences that could include weeks in jail or decades in prison!
• Domestic violence: Another infraction that can be charged as either a felony or misdemeanor depending on your circumstances, domestic violence encompasses behavior including physical violence, sexual abuse, stalking, harassment, threats, and other abusive behavior toward spouses, partners, and co-parents. Felony domestic violence might involve the use of a weapon or inflicting extensive injury. Penalties for felony domestic violence can incur charges including up to twelve years of prison time and fines of up to $750,000. 
• Drug crimes: Drug crimes are usually charged as felonies, with the exception of simple possession, which generally involves being found with small amounts of drugs like marijuana. However, possession of large amounts of schedule I drugs, manufacturing controlled substances, and trafficking controlled substances across state lines are typically charged as felonies that can put you away in prison for decades.
• DUI: For a first DUI charge, you will likely be charged with a misdemeanor. However, multiple DUIs on your record or a DUI that results in extensive injury, property damage, or death, can result in felony charges. In addition to helping you with typical DUIs, we also represent underage DUI, commercial DUI, and military DUI! In certain circumstances, we can also work with you to get your DUI expunged!
• Protection orders: If there is a restraining order against you that is causing undue burden, such as if you are not allowed to enter your own property or see your child, we can help challenge it. 
• Vehicular homicide: Killing someone with your vehicle can mean you will serve years in prison. We will argue to have your charges reduced or prove that you did not drive recklessly so that you can have your charges dropped.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can criminal charges affect my future job opportunities? 

Yes. Many employers run criminal background checks and, if you are convicted, your charges will always be on your record. 

What if I am falsely accused?

If you are facing a false criminal accusation, it is imperative that you retain experienced legal counsel and carefully document any evidence that proves your innocence.

Will my previous criminal record work against me?

Potentially. If you have a criminal history, a judge might take these charges into account and, depending on your circumstances, they can even lead to a harsher sentencing.
