The Devastating Impact of a Criminal Conviction
Misdemeanor and felony convictions carry long-lasting devastating consequences. Immediate consequences include jail or prison time, probation, and substantial fines. Long term effects include losing certain rights, such as your right to vote and own and possess firearms. If you have a child, you may lose child custody or your visitation rights. A criminal conviction may also result in losing your driving privileges, your ability to obtain employment and housing, and irreparably damage your personal and professional relationships.
