Questions
What should I expect during my criminal court case?
Expect arraignment, possible preliminary hearings, plea negotiations, and potential trial. Our team guides clients through each stage from initial appearance to sentencing.
How will the judge decide my sentence?
Judges consider criminal history, employment, family support, and offense circumstances. We advocate for reduced sentences using mitigation strategies and pre-sentence investigations.
What rights do felons lose upon conviction?
Convicted felons lose firearm rights, voting privileges, and public office eligibility. We help restore rights through expungement processes where legally possible.
Can my criminal conviction be expunged?
Wyoming allows expungement for non-violent misdemeanors after 5 years and felonies after 10 years. We file petitions to seal records and restore legal privileges.
What if I have to register as a sex offender?
Registration requires providing personal, employment, and vehicle information to law enforcement. We challenge registration requirements and seek removal when legally eligible.
