Knowledgeable Felony Defense Lawyers
A felony charge is frightening. If you are convicted, the penalties can be very harsh, with the possibility of lengthy incarceration in the state or federal prison system. You will also lose your right to vote, your right to sit on a jury and your ability to carry a gun. You may lose your license to drive, even if the crime was not related to operating a vehicle. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you can be deported no matter how long you have lived here.
