About:
Criminal charges, by their very nature, carry potential incarceration, fines, and even beyond that the stigma of having a criminal record. This can affect careers, lives, and even residency. It is important to have an experienced attorney by your side to explain the intricacies of the process, to help you navigate the various steps involved in responding to charges, and to defend you to the full extent of the law. An experienced Columbia criminal attorney can help you minimize the damage and fight the case to get an acquittal if possible. While the elements of both a misdemeanor and a felony are quite similar, the nature of the offense is very different. A misdemeanor is generally characterized as a lower-level offense. Examples of a misdemeanor that warrant the attention of a criminal lawyer in Columbia may include:
Jurisdiction:Altoona

"I am very grateful to attorney Marvin Ochoa and the firm he represents for a magnificent job, for all the help and patience he had with me and always encouraging me, but especially for his persistence in making everything go well for me and my court, which we did very well with. Highly recommended to everyone, especially because they also speak Spanish."
