What if I’m convicted of a felony?
The penalties for being convicted of a felony can be harsh. In general, felonies carry a sentence of a prison term over one year, along with fines and damages paid to the victim. In addition to fines and jail time, a felony conviction can come with collateral penalties such as loss of voting rights, difficulty finding jobs, and revoked right to purchase or possess firearms. Felony convictions are very serious and can permanently affect a person’s life, so having experienced legal representation is extremely important in a felony case.
