Felonies & Misdemeanors

Crimes are organized legally into two groups, felonies and misdemeanors. Felonies are serious charges that require an experienced and capable lawyer. Even if you are only charged with a misdemeanor offense, it is still a crime that carries potential jail time and can affect your criminal record. It is always a good idea to seek out the best criminal defense lawyer, even if you are guilty. For Laura Robinson, it is about protecting the rights of all people, whether guilty or innocent.

The Difference Between Felonies & Misdemeanors

A misdemeanor is a crime punishable by imprisonment for up to one year. A felony is a more serious crime that can be punished by imprisonment in a state prison. You could get probation or a prison sentence for a felony. There can be other serious consequences to being convicted of a felony. You could be held liable for restitution, prohibited from owning a firearm and your employment could be seriously affected.
