Getting arrested is an unnerving experience. El Reno criminal defendants have many questions, but most are terrified of ending up in jail. The good news is that defendants have the right to put on a defense, including the right to hire an experienced lawyer to represent them throughout the process. Contact Fassio Law today to take advantage of that right.
Our El Reno criminal defense team can discuss the charges, as well as what evidence the state has against you. Based on what we hear, we can review possible penalties and which defense strategies make the most sense.

Reach out so we can review the charges you are facing. Building the right defense takes time, and some evidence can disappear if your lawyer doesn’t move quickly.
Penalties will depend on the charges you face, along with other factors, including your criminal history. Generally, defendants face the possibility of:
Misdemeanors are less serious than felonies, but you can still face time in jail. For example, petit larceny (21 OK Stat § 1706) could result in up to six months in jail, along with a $500 fine for a first-time offender.
Felonies are the most serious crimes and are punishable by more than a year in prison. Each crime has its own unique penalties, which our office can review. For example, first-degree robbery (21 OK Stat § 798) could result in a minimum sentence of 10 years in prison, and up to a maximum of life in prison, even for a first-time offender.
As seasoned El Reno criminal defense lawyers, we strive to get the best outcome for our clients. Sometimes, that might mean advocating for our client to participate in probation or a pretrial diversion program. A defendant can avoid a conviction if they fulfill all the obligations of the program, including fines and restitution, community service, and substance abuse treatment, among other requirements.
In other cases, we can ask a judge to dismiss the charges due to constitutional violations, or we might negotiate with the prosecution to get charges reduced or the sentence minimized. We can also negotiate a favorable plea deal. Our goal is to minimize the negative consequences of a conviction and allow you to move on with your life in a productive manner.
The Fassio Law team is also experienced and ready to defend our clients in front of a jury, if it comes to that.
