Tad Nelson knows how much a criminal conviction can change a person’s life forever. Whatever crime you are charged with, you will not only face the criminal penalties, but also social stigmatization that may affect you through the rest of your life. Many people with a criminal history have a difficult time finding employment and housing after they have served their time. This can, unfortunately, cause a downward spiral where it becomes easier and more profitable to commit crimes than to have a legitimate career.
