A pretrial conference is a court hearing where your attorney and the prosecutor discuss your case before trial. Your attorney may challenge certain evidence, request that charges be dismissed when legally appropriate, or negotiate a possible plea agreement.
​
A plea agreement may allow you to plead guilty or no contest in exchange for reduced charges or a more favorable sentencing recommendation. Factors such as your criminal history, the seriousness of the charges, and the circumstances of your case can affect the options available.
​
At Miller Bradley Law, LLC, our goal is to protect your rights, explore every available option, and work toward the best possible outcome for your case.
A fine is money the court orders you to pay as punishment for a crime. Depending on your charges, a fine may be your only penalty or may be added to other punishments, such as probation or jail time. The amount you must pay depends on the offense and the circumstances of your case. Paying a fine does not automatically remove a conviction from your criminal record.
Probation is a court order to do (or not to do) certain things for a period of time. The offender who gets a conditional discharge or a suspended sentence will always have a probation order they must follow. A probation order can be combined with a fine, a conditional sentence, intermittent imprisonment, or imprisonment. The maximum length of a probation order is three years.Â
Every probation order will have the following conditions:
-
Keep the peace and be of good behavior
-
Appear in court when ordered by the court
-
Tell the court or probation officer about any change of name, address, or job
​
Jail is a facility where people may be held while waiting for trial, sentencing, or transfer to another facility. It is also where individuals may serve shorter sentences, often for misdemeanor offenses. Jails are typically operated by local law enforcement, such as a county sheriff's office. Depending on the charges and circumstances of the case, jail time may be part of a person's sentence.
Community service requires you to complete unpaid work that benefits your local community. This may include cleaning public areas, helping nonprofit organizations, or volunteering. A judge may order community service instead of jail time or along with other penalties, such as fines or probation. The number of hours you must complete depends on your charges and the court's decision.
