Primary Areas of Law

The Law Office of W. Shane Jennings provides legal assistance in the following areas of law:

Misdemeanor Crimes

Although they are considered to be less serious than felonies, misdemeanors still require those charged to seek legal assistance from a reputable criminal justice attorney. Misdemeanors are divided into two distinct categories: petty misdemeanors and misdemeanors. As its name implies, the “petty” category is made up of the less-serious crimes. These crimes tend to be punishable by jail time and/or fines of up to $500. The “misdemeanor” category, on the other hand, focuses on the more serious offenses.

As such, these crimes can lead to fines of up to $1,000 and/or one year in jail. Convictions for misdemeanor crimes must be taken seriously, even if misdemeanors are known as the “less serious” crime. Larceny, for example, tends to be considered a misdemeanor. If the amount of property stole exceeds $500, the crime will be considered a felony. Aggravated burglary, on the other hand, is categorized as a second degree felony due to the use of a deadly weapon or the act of committing a battery.

Many factors are at play when it comes to determining the categorization of the crime. Although misdemeanors may seem less serious than felonies, the latter can still become part of your permanent record. If you’ve been charged with a misdemeanor, the Law Office of W. Shane Jennings can help.

Felony Crimes

Felony crimes, such as murder and aggravated burglary, are considered to be much more serious than misdemeanors. If you’re facing felony charges in the state of New Mexico, you must seek legal assistance from an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
