Criminal Records

Courts keep careful records of all legal proceedings, including arrests and trials. This means that if you are ever found guilty of a crime, your conviction will be noted in the legal system’s documents. This is known as having a criminal record, and the consequences can affect many different areas of your life.

If you have been accused of a criminal offense, qualified legal representation may help you avoid an array of personal, financial, and legal complications. To learn more about your rights as a defendant, call Champaign defense attorney Bruno Law Offices at (217) 328-6000.
