What Are Attorney Chris Spring’s Areas of Criminal Law?

You can face either misdemeanor or felony charges for an alleged crime in Chelmsford, Massachusetts.

You could, however, spend a maximum of two and a half years in the Billerica House of Correction for a misdemeanor conviction.

A felony conviction could lead to months, years or life in prison in Massachusetts. It could also result in other penalties on a defendant, such as expensive fines, restitution, probation, and inclusion of your name on the national sex offender registry (depending on the crime).
