Whatever the circumstances were that led to accusations against you on grounds of animal cruelty, you are right to be seeking a lawyer to advise and represent you. The charges may be false, or exaggerated. You may believe that whatever actions led to the investigation and arrest do not amount to criminal offenses.
Regardless of your intentions or others' misperceptions, a conviction after an arrest for animal cruelty will leave you with a permanent criminal record. There may be fines and penalties. You may be sentenced to jail or prison time. Your professional license (if you are a doctor, teacher, lawyer or healthcare worker, for example) may be at risk.
