This works by the court imposing a prison sentence but deferring it for a probationary period; if you lead a law-abiding life during this time, you will be deemed to have proven yourself and the <strong>prison sentence will not be executed.<\/strong> This means you will not go to prison and can continue living your life normally, staying at home, going to work, etc. To achieve a suspended sentence for more serious criminal activity, it is necessary to present the court with as much evidence and legal arguments in your favor as possible.   <strong>Conversely, for less serious criminal activity, a suspended sentence is a common penalty.<\/strong> We are happy to assist you with your cases in the field of criminal law.<\/p><h2>How long can the probationary period for a suspended prison sentence be?<\/h2><p>1\u20135 years<\/p><h2>In which cases is a suspended sentence granted?<\/h2><ol><li>If the sentence imposed is a maximum of 3 years <\/li><li>If the offender&#8217;s circumstances and character are favorable \u2013 e.g., a clean criminal record to date <\/li><li>Circumstances of the case \u2013 e.g., mitigating circumstances <\/li><\/ol><h2>CHOOSE AN ATTORNEY \u2013 DEFENSE COUNSEL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE<\/h2><p><strong>Criminal proceedings consist of several consecutive stages.<\/strong> For the best development of a client&#8217;s case and the highest chance of obtaining a suspended sentence, it is essential for their defense counsel to be involved as early as possible. If a lawyer joins the defense at a later stage, it may no longer be possible to help the client fully, only to mitigate the impact. Together, we will discuss possible strategies and choose the best one for you.  <\/p><h2>Do I have to visit the attorney&#8217;s office in person?
