Think About The Long Term Effects
Consider the consequences of a criminal conviction.
Have you fully considered the consequences of a criminal conviction? Many people who decide to plead guilty to a criminal charge do so to “get it over with” or “put the whole thing behind them.” Unfortunately, these people may not have realized all of the ramifications of pleading guilty to a criminal charge.

Criminal Sentencing.
Many people facing criminal charges get so stressed out about having to go to court that they don’t give much thought to what will happen afterwards.
Bobby Russon will explain to you that if you are convicted of the charge against you, you will be sentenced by a judge. The judge will choose an appropriate sentence, which may include one or more of the following:
- A fine.
- A jail term.
- Probation.
Once you have paid your fine or served your jail term or probation, it’s over, right? Not necessarily. Unfortunately, there are often long-term consequences associated with having a criminal record.
