Florida Federal Criminal Defense Attorney focusing on the defense of white collar crimes.

State Felony Trials

Felonies are crimes that are more serious than misdemeanors. A felony conviction for a crime such as assault, murder, rape, treason or fraud (among others) can haunt a convicted felon for life and interfere with voting, employment, and other privileges enjoyed by lawful members of society.

While there are some federal felonies, many felonies are governed by state laws and tried in state courts. A felony trial involves a case presented by the prosecution and countered by the defense lawyers for the accused.

Sentencing can range from jail to fines to execution in states that allow capital punishment. Given the severity and long-reaching effects of felonies, it is advisable that those accused of a felony crime seek experienced legal help immediately.
