Tampa Vandalism Crime Defense AttorneyLawyer for Vandalism Charges in AZVandalism is generally a crime committed by juveniles, who believe the crime will not come with serious consequences if they are caught. Unfortunately, vandalism is taken very seriously in our state because it costs the government so much money to fix. In fact, while most people assume the crime is only a misdemeanor, it is very commonly a felony charge. That is why it is so important to always seek the representation of a quality Tampa vandalism crime defense attorney. If the damage done will cost over $400 to repair, if the defendant already has a vandalism charge on her record, if the vandalism was done for a gang or it was done as part of a hate crime, the crime will be charged as a felony. If the gang accusation is incorporated into your charge, you will even receive a strike on your record towards the Florida three strikes law. Do not take chances with your criminal record; contact a lawyer for vandalism charges in AZ today.
When the charge is convicted as a misdemeanor, you may face up to 3 years of informal probation, fines, restitution and community service. The penalties are much more serious when it is charged as a felony. In this case, you will face jail time and formal probation on top of the other punishments. Additionally, you may lose your driver’s license for one year. While the most common vandalism charges include graffiti and destruction of property, you may also be charged with vandalism if you possess certain tools for vandalism or if you are under 18 and possess cans of spray paint.
