Colorado Municipal Court Charges

So, you went out for a night of fun and you find yourself arrested and charged. What do you do now? First, it depends on what you’ve been charged with. If you’ve been charged on the local level, then you need to go through the municipal courts. Municipal charges are not as serious as state charges, but they are still very serious and could be detrimental to the rest of your life. Most municipal charges are considered to be misdemeanors, but that doesn’t mean they’ll go away easily. Misdemeanors will still affect your permanent record and are as much of a hassle to expunge as felonies. If you’ve been charged with a municipal crime, then it’s time to hire a reliable criminal defense attorney who is able to defend you. At Murphy & Price LLP, we are able to help those who have been charged with municipal charges and who are looking for a reliable lawyer who will fight for them. Located in Colorado Springs, we also cater to the Breckenridge, Vail, and Lake County areas.

What Happens When You’ve Been Charged With Municipal Crimes?

Getting charged with any crime can be scary, especially if it’s your first time. Municipal crimes are pretty low on the scale of crimes you can commit, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t going to need a lawyer. A lawyer will ensure you don’t have to pay a huge fine or go to jail for longer than necessary. When you’ve been charged with a municipal crime, you’re going to need to follow the directions that you received. One type of municipal crime is a traffic ticket. Depending on whether you ran a stop sign or if you were caught for speeding for the fourth time, you’ll either need to go to court where you’ll have points added to your license or you’ll have a suspended license. You’ll also need to pay a fine and you’re even liable to face jail time for some crimes. To make sure you’re protected, it’s best if you hire a lawyer. If you want to contest your municipal charge, then you’ll need to hire a lawyer who is familiar with municipal crimes.
