Nebraska Felonies and Misdemeanors Lawyer
Say nothing and get a lawyer – that’s the first think you should do if you are charged or even suspected of a crime in Nebraska, whether it be a felony or misdemeanor. Police will stop at nothing to get you to answer questions or to get you to provide a full confession. Instead you should say nothing and hire an experienced criminal defense attorney. From his offices in Omaha, attorney A. Michael Bianchi has been protecting the rights of individuals charged with felonies and misdemeanors for almost twenty years.

Because a Guilty Plea is Not Your Only Option
If the police have contacted you about a crime that has been committed and you believe an arrest warrant is forthcoming, it is time to contact an attorney. You may be better off going to the police before they come to get you. When they file an arrest warrant and come get you, things become more complex, but this is not the type of decision you want to make without consulting an experienced attorney first.
Misdemeanors, Felonies, and the Challenges Ahead
Whether you have been charged with a DUI or homicide, it is important to understand the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony. In Nebraska, a misdemeanor conviction has a maximum sentence of a one thousand dollar fine and one year in jail. A Felony is much more serious and could result in more than a year in prison and over one thousand dollars in fines.
Felonies
Despite the potential consequences for a felony conviction, criminal defendants do have options if they do not face charges for violent or drug related crimes. In some counties, there are diversion programs and drug courts that allow defendants alternative sentencing options.
Regardless of the charges you face, it is important to remember that in our post 9/11, high security world, people often lose valuable civil rights and employment opportunities after a conviction. The best plan for your future starts with a strong defense, NOW before you are convicted.
