Child Abuse
It's important for you to understand the seriousness of the charges that have been brought against you, the consequences of a conviction, and the possible defenses to the charges. Shortly after a person is arrested, a judge or magistrate will explain the maximum jail sentence and the maximum fine. You probably will not be told about other possibilities, such as: the loss of driving privileges, the loss of the right to own or possess a firearm or deadly weapon, loss of employment opportunities in certain professions, registration under a sex offender or child abuse registry, required completion of certain treatment programs, and restrictions in travel and association with others. In today’s day and age, any criminal conviction can have devastating financial and social consequences. If you choose to represent yourself, know that you are on an uneven playing field and at a distinct disadvantage. It's unlikely that the average person could represent himself or herself effectively in court against an experienced police officer or prosecutor. On the other hand, if I think the case is simple and straightforward, I’ll tell you as much.
