We Can Help Anyone Accused of a Crime in Yukon

At Fassio Law, our experience is broad. We can help anyone accused of:

• Driving Under the Influence
• Theft
• Gun and Weapon charges
• Drug charges
• Assault/Domestic violence
• White collar crimes
• Probation violations

We can also help with the expungement process if you want to clean up your criminal history. Any conviction, even for a misdemeanor, makes it harder moving forward to find work, rent an apartment, or gain admission to college.

You Deserve an Advocate in Your Corner

Criminal defendants often wonder if they should request a public defender. The answer is that you are almost always better off hiring your own lawyer. We can give your case the attention it deserves so that we mount the strongest defense possible. Many public defenders are tackling hundreds of cases (literally) at once.

If you hire Fassio Law, we can:

• Analyze the circumstances surrounding a search and/or arrest to determine if the officers respected your constitutional rights.
• Review whether the police gave Miranda warnings.
• Find weaknesses in the state’s case against you.
• Review physical evidence and the chain of custody for possible gaps.
• Talk to witnesses, including possible alibi witnesses.
• Ask that a judge suppress evidence that police obtained in violation of your rights.

We have handled so many cases that we can possibly negotiate with the prosecutor to have charges reduced or dismissed, or obtain a favorable sentence outcome. We are also not afraid to defend your case all the way to trial and present evidence showing your innocence to a jury made up of your peers.

Criminal Penalties in Oklahoma

Anyone charged with a felony or misdemeanor could face time behind bars. Each crime carries its own punishment. Here is a sampling:

• Aggravated assault and battery: maximum of 1 year in county jail or 5 years in state prison, and a $500 fine.
• False statements regarding taxes: maximum 1 year in jail and $5,000 fine.
• Petit larceny: maximum $500 fine and six months in jail.
• First-degree robbery: minimum of 10 years in prison
• First time driving under the influence (DUI) charge: maximum 1 year in county jail and $1,000 fine (for subsequent DUI charges, the punishment can include up to 10 years in prison)
• Possession of Marijuana: maximum 1 year in county jail and $500 fine (higher punishment if you are accused of possession larger quantities of marijuana)

If you have a prior conviction, then you are facing even stiffer penalties. These enhancements can send someone to prison for much longer than if this is your first offense.

Yukon and Canadian County: Oklahoma has both State Courts and City/Municipal Courts.

The Fassio Law Criminal Defense Team is ready and able to defend people charged with criminal acts in either Canadian County (state court) or in the City of Yukon (city court/municipal court).

State courts and city courts are both types of courts in Oklahoma, but they differ in their jurisdiction and the types of cases they handle.

State courts are established by state governments and have the authority to hear a wide range of cases, including criminal and civil cases, family law matters, and disputes involving state law. State courts may also have appellate jurisdiction, meaning they hear appeals from lower courts. The jurisdiction of state courts may vary from state to state, but generally, they have authority over cases that involve state law or state citizens.

City courts, on the other hand, are established by local governments, such as cities or municipalities, and typically have a more limited jurisdiction than state courts. City courts generally handle cases that involve violations of local ordinances, such as traffic violations, parking tickets, and misdemeanors. They may also handle some civil cases, such as small claims disputes.
