Legal Information About Felony Offenses

In any criminal case, the state and/or federal government files charges against a defendant for committing a crime against society. Depending on circumstances surrounding the crime, the defendant will be charged with either a felony or a misdemeanor crime. If you have been accused or charged with a felony crime, it’s extremely important to hire a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Felonies are considered the most serious of all crimes, and will result in severe legal penalties if you are found guilty.

As Atlanta criminal defense lawyer Judy Kim knows, the punishment for committing a felony crime is usually one year or more in state prison, probation, and a fine of more than $1,000. In addition, a person may also lose some or all of their civil liberties, such as the right to vote, own a handgun, or hold certain professions. Furthermore, many people convicted of felony crimes suffer from tarnished reputations, and have difficulty finding a job, obtaining loans, and renting or buying a home.
