Practice Areas

Many people underestimate the impact a misdemeanor charge can have on their lives. Even though misdemeanors are often considered “minor” offenses, they can still lead to significant penalties, including fines, jail time, and a permanent criminal record. At The Law Office of Joel Chorny, PLLC, I understand the serious consequences that can arise from a misdemeanor conviction and am committed to protecting your future.

Why You Need an Attorney for Misdemeanor Charges

Even a single misdemeanor conviction can follow you for years, affecting your ability to find employment, secure housing, or pursue educational opportunities. Whether you’re facing charges for drug possession, theft, or another misdemeanor offense, having an experienced attorney by your side can make all the difference. I will work closely with you to develop a defense strategy that challenges the prosecution’s case and seeks to minimize the consequences.

Defending Against Misdemeanor Allegations

While misdemeanors may seem less severe than felonies, they still require a strategic and thorough defense. Depending on the facts of your case, we may focus on:

  • Challenging the evidence, such as the validity of an arrest or the strength of the prosecution’s case against you.
  • Negotiating alternative resolutions, such as diversion programs or reduced charges, especially if this is a first-time offense.
  • Highlighting mitigating circumstances, such as personal or situational factors, that may reduce the severity of the penalties.

Each case is unique, and I will work to uncover the key issues in your defense to achieve the best possible outcome.
