The penalty depends on the exact charge. I offer a free initial consultation during which I would be happy to examine your charge papers and advise you of the maximum penalties and sentencing options. Whether a court imposes incarceration depends on the nature of the offense, the defendant's record, what the state is requesting, how good of a presentation the defense makes, and the judge.
