Criminal Law – Felonies
Criminal Law – Felonies
Felonies are the most serious crimes in our legal system. Felonies may be punished by substantial fines, lengthy jail sentences or a combination of the two. In addition to the criminal penalties, a person convicted of a felony may lose certain rights, such as the right to vote or the right to possess a firearm. A person convicted of a felony may also lose any professional license he or she has, and may be barred from certain professions, even after serving the full term of his or her sentence.
It is no exaggeration to say that a felony prosecution is the most serious legal matter a person may face in a lifetime. A serious legal matter calls for serious, experienced legal help, and the time to get that help is sooner, rather than later. If you are involved in a felony prosecution or investigation, you must realize that it isn’t just going to “go away,” and it isn’t something you can talk your way out of. You are facing very serious legal consequences that could stay with you for the rest of your life. You need to treat a felony as seriously as the prosecutor who brings the case against you will treat it.
