Criminal defense law is generally classified as either a felony or misdemeanor. The most serious crimes such as burglary, theft, murder, rape and assault are felonies. These crimes can result in very severe punishments, such as long term imprisonment and loss of civil rights. Misdemeanors are less serious crimes, such as possession of less than an ounce of marijuana. They could elicit short term imprisonment or heavy monetary fines.

Whatever your charge, it is important to understand that crimes that are generally considered minor misdemeanors or infractions can be categorized as a felony depending on the repercussions caused by them. For example, although breaking speed limits is an infraction, it might be considered a felony if you crash into another vehicle and caused death or serious injury to the people in that vehicle.

In criminal law cases, your attorney(s) play a very important role in ensuring that you are not convicted under a more severe charge. It is crucial that you get in touch with us immediately.

Got in trouble. Had to get an attorney. I did a google search and Tomczak's firm came up. I went to them because they were available on a Saturday. I was informed that if I hired the firm I would get all three attorneys on my case.

Very happy I chose Tomczak Law Group for my legal needs. Before hiring them, I had spoke with several attorneys on the phone. All of which quoted me $20,000 just to get started (more if my case went to trial), & their lack of confidence leaving me with an uneasy feeling in my stomach

I dont know about all these one star cry babies on here I had nothing but a great experience all the way around hiring this law firm. They showed me nothing but respect, kindness and professionalism from the jump the secretaries to the lawyer's. They also never beat around the Bush with any part of my case they always made sure I knew what was going on and what would most likely happen next.
