Legal Practice Areas

Criminal law covers a wide array of charges that are either misdemeanors or felonies depending on the severity of the offense. These charges are tried in state or federal courts by prosecutors. Any of these charges would fall within the legal practice areas of Orr & Olavson and they would be working for you.

 

Misdemeanors carry no more than a year of jail and a $4000 fine. Felonies can range from 180 days to 99 years in jail and up to a $10,000 sentence. A capital felony has no fine, but the penalty is life in prison or the death sentence.

The attorneys at Orr & Olavson have more than 60 years experience in protecting the rights of those accused of criminal offenses, which are cases pursued by state or federal prosecutors. That experience includes hundreds of cases in the Federal, State and Municipal courts
