Dublin Felony Criminal Defense Attorney

Charged with a Felony?

Felony crimes are much more serious crimes that include a prison sentence of over 1 year.  A felony conviction is extremely dangerous, as your life changes radically once you are a "convicted felon".  There are many professional licenses that will be unavailable to you and until your entire sentence is completed, including any time on parole, you will be unable to even vote.  You will likely have trouble getting a job, a place to live or take out a loan for a car or home easily if you have a felony conviction on your record.  This is not to mention the serious penalties you will face including prison time, restitution, and steep fines that are often part of a felony crime conviction. No one should attempt to deal with a felony charge without contacting a Dublin criminal defense lawyer to defend them in court.

There are several degrees of felony crimes, each with its specific levels of penalties.  The seriousness of the offense is measured by the degree of the felony charge.  For example, a murder charge is either first or second degree, and a first degree murder conviction can result in the death sentence, which is still in force in our state.  Sentencing in penalty convictions is measured against several criteria, such as your earlier criminal record, whether any individual was injured or killed in the incident, and whether a weapon or threat of injury was involved in the crime.  When children are involved, it can become a very serious matter, even in a felony DUI conviction in which a young child was in the vehicle when arrested and charged.
