Criminal Defense

Misdemeanor Criminal Defense

Being convicted of a crime, even a misdemeanor, can have serious consequences.  A conviction can lead to jail time, being forced to pay fines and court costs, and probation.  Among other things, a conviction can impact your employment, your ability to maintain your driver's license, and your ability to possess a firearm.  There are many ways to defend criminal charges, including challenging and/or finding and exploiting gaps in the State's evidence, suppressing evidence, asserting various statutory defenses like necessity or self defense, etc.  Additionally, it may be possible to get the charges reduced, or to enter into a diversion program.  Mr. Jaeggli
has experience defending:
  • DUI 
  • Driving While License Suspended
  • Reckless Driving
  • Various Traffic Offenses
  • Theft
  • Assault
  • Minor in Possession
  • Malicious Mischief
  • Violation of a No  Contact Order
 If you have been charged with these or other offenses, call Alta Law Group at 206-818-1253 for a free initial consultation.

Criminal Defense of Non-Citizens

If you are an immigrant, being convicted of a crime can have even more serious consequences.  It can mean loss of legal status and deportation.  It can also result in a denial of admission if you ever leave the United States and apply for reentry.  It can prevent you from obtaining legal status.  You can also be detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and in some cases  you can be held without bond.  This is true even if you are a Lawful Permanent Resident (commonly referred to as a "green card" holder).  This area of law, often referred to as "crimigration," is very complex.  Mr. Jaeggli has significant experience in this area of law.  If you are not a citizen of the United States and you have been charged with a crime, call Alta Law Group at 206-818-1253 to schedule a consultation.  Mr. Jaeggli can help you assess whether your charge may have immigration consequences, and if necessary will work with the prosecutor to resolve your case in a manner which either minimizes or eliminates the immigration consequences of a criminal offense.
