“To err is human.” No truer words have ever been spoken.
People make mistakes all the time. You have made mistakes. Although some mistakes may be worse than others, that doesn’t mean they should affect your entire future. However, when charged and convicted of a crime, that is exactly what happens. It doesn't matter if it is a misdemeanor or felony—a conviction can cause irreparable harm to your present and future. These effects are even more devastating if you didn’t commit the crime of which you’re accused. If your defense falls short and you’re convicted, you could wind up suffering unfairly.
This is why Attorney Van Hardenbergh has spent the majority of his career defending clients against wrongful convictions and unjust sentences, including:
- Unreasonable fines
- Discriminatory job loss
- A damning permanent conviction on a criminal record
- Loss of security clearance for military and government jobs, including Fort Lee soldiers, contractors, and employees
- Wrongful or unjust imprisonment
- Permanent branding or disgrace (“sexual predator,” “murderer,” etc.)
