Dismissing Your Misdemeanor Charges — Protecting Your Future

Typically, spring break offenses are misdemeanors. We frequently try to get the tourist crime charges reduced or dropped so you won't have a criminal conviction on your record that can damage a promising future. The tourist crime cases are often resolved with general probation bonds and community service.

The state has the burden of proof. We will challenge the state at every stage of the case. Many tourist crime cases are negotiated down to a lesser offense, or are dismissed.

You may not even have to come back for trial.

Contact Jonathan Dingus, Board Certified Criminal Trial Attorney to fight your tourist charges today.
