Felonies | The Law Office of R. Christian Smith, PLLC

Misdemeanors & Infractions

Misdemeanors and infractions come in many forms. They can be traffic violations (such as speeding or driving a vehicle that has an expired registration) or much more serious charges (such as assault or battery). Regardless of how trivial a charge may seem at first, a conviction of any kind can come with serious consequences. It is important to consult with a criminal defense attorney sooner rather than later so that you can make informed decisions that will result in a more favorable outcome for your case.

Our firm has experience in all manner of criminal charges. If you have been charged with a crime, do not wait to meet with an attorney. Contact us today to discuss your case in Onslow or Jones County.

Felony Charges

While any criminal charge is something that should be taken seriously, it is important to realize that felony criminal charges will be more severe than a misdemeanor or an infraction. Felony charges can relate to anything from manslaughter to domestic violence, and even drug crimes, such as trafficking. While differing in type, all felonies charges have one thing in common: unrelenting, life-altering penalties. Felonies are not something that can be dealt with in a month and then forgotten about.

If you are charged with a felony, it is very important that you seek the involvement of an experienced criminal defense attorney that you can trust to provide you with high-quality and knowledgable representation when it matters most. We know the confusion that often comes with felony charges, and we are firmly devoted to providing our client with the representation that they truly deserve.
