You should hire an attorney as soon as possible after an arrest or if you even suspect you’re being investigated for a crime. Early legal intervention can prevent charges from being filed, influence how prosecutors handle your case, and preserve critical evidence.

A misdemeanor is a less serious offense, typically punishable by up to one year in county jail and fines.

A felony is a more severe crime that can result in longer prison sentences, higher fines, and lasting consequences.

Our attorneys handle both misdemeanor and felony cases with the same level of dedication and precision.

Not always. Many criminal cases are resolved through negotiations or plea agreements, while others may be dismissed due to lack of evidence. However, if going to trial is in your best interest, our firm is fully prepared to fight for you in court.

Costs vary depending on the complexity of the case and whether it proceeds to trial. At Fascenelli & Associates, we offer transparent pricing and flexible payment options, ensuring you receive top-tier legal defense without unnecessary stress.

We also provide free confidential consultations to discuss your situation before any commitment.

Absolutely. Many innocent individuals face false accusations or mistaken identity. We’ll investigate thoroughly, gather evidence, interview witnesses, and build a compelling case to prove your innocence and clear your name.

If convicted, penalties depend on the type and severity of the offense. This may include fines, probation, community service, or imprisonment. However, we can help pursue sentence reductions, appeals, or expungements to minimize the long-term impact.

A criminal record can affect employment, housing, and professional licensing. That’s why we not only defend you in court but also assist with record expungement where possible—to help you rebuild your life after a case.
