Frequently Asked Questions
-
What factors can affect my penalties?
Your penalties will depend on a number of factors. If your charges involved injury to anyone, your penalties will increase. Additionally, if you have any previous convictions and/ or you are still in your probation period, you will also be facing more serious penalties.
-
What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?
Minor crimes are classified as misdemeanors. Any jail sentences will be for less than a year, with the time spent in local or county jail. Major crimes are classified as felonies, and sentences are served within state or federal prison.
-
Will my case go to trial?
Whether or not your case goes to trial will be up to you. The prosecution will most likely offer you a plea bargain, which will entail reduced charges, reduced penalties, or a lower sentence in return for a guilty plea. Our attorney can help determine if accepting the plea bargain is the best course of action for you. However, you do have the right to a fair and speedy trial, if this is the route you choose.

Success Stories
-
"Steve was thoughtful, careful and non-judgmental when it came to a matter dealing with my son's legal problem. Steve had a wide range of life experiences to draw from to relate to my son, to give him hope that one legal snag as a kid is nothing you cannot overcome. He also explained how remaining free of the flypaper of legal system in the future, is of a benefit to him as a person. Extra yards he didn't have to go, he went there. Everyone deserves a legal defense. If you're in a jam, talk to Steve Casanova."

"If you are ever unfortunate enough to get a DUI, I hope you are fortunate enough to get Mr. Casanova to represent you. Steve has a wealth of experience with DUI cases and was able to get a last minute agreement to eliminate one of the penalties in exchange for a charitable donation. He is also very personable and makes himself available whenever you want information or advice."
