Understanding Criminal Charges in San Antonio
Criminal charges in San Antonio can range from lower-level misdemeanors to serious felony offenses, and each type of charge carries different risks, penalties, and long-term consequences. A conviction may affect your freedom, criminal record, employment, housing, and future opportunities. Dave Parent helps clients in San Antonio and Bexar County understand the charges they face and the defense options available. If your case involves alcohol-related driving charges, you may also need help from a DUI lawyer in San Antonio or a DWI attorney in San Antonio.
Felony Charges
Felony charges are more serious and may include aggravated assault, drug crimes, weapon offenses, repeat offenses, or other major criminal allegations. A felony conviction can lead to significant prison time, large fines, and lasting damage to your personal and professional future, making strong legal defense critical.
Misdemeanor Charges
Misdemeanor offenses may include charges such as petty theft, simple assault, trespassing, disorderly conduct, or first-time low-level offenses. Even though these charges are less serious than felonies, they can still lead to jail time, fines, probation, and a permanent criminal record if not handled properly.
