A criminal conviction can not only negatively impact your life right now but can also have devastating effects for you future. If you are found guilty of any criminal offense you could be facing hefty fines, jail time, community service, mandatory counseling, loss of privileges and some rights, restitution to the victim or probation.
Even after you have served your time, you may have trouble finding work and accommodation with this black mark on your record. After all, employees and landlords are hesitant to hire and rent to someone with a history of drug abuse, sexual accusations or any other criminal charges. In some instances both your personal and professional career may be at stake if you are convicted of a white collar crime, employee theft or any offense that may tarnish your reputation. Do not let one mistake ruin the rest of your life.
