Criminal law involves prosecution by the government for an act that has been deemed by local, state or federal law to be a crime. More serious crimes, such as homicides, rapes and assaults, are considered felonies. Less serious crimes, including petty theft, are misdemeanors. A finding of guilt by a judge or jury can result in prison time and or fines.
Our mission at Whiting Hagg Hagg Dorsey & Hagg LLP is to provide our clients the highest quality defense. We aim to reduce or eliminate bail so our clients can remain free while we prepare their case. Our attorneys spend crucial time on a case and gather information from prosecution and defense witnesses, sometimes by hiring investigators. We are up front with our clients about what they will face should they go to trial. We explain the pros and cons of any plea bargain that is offered. In the event of a conviction, we work to reduce sentences.
