How Serious Are Felony Cases?

Felony cases carry very high stakes. While misdemeanors typically don’t result in more than a year in jail, felony prison sentences can span decades or even life, especially for major federal charges. Let me be your source of hope in the face of such potential consequences. I know what is needed when everything is on the line, as can be seen in my proven record in high-profile cases.

What Rights Can Be At Stake?

A felony conviction could not only deprive you of your freedom but also cause you to lose many rights, such as the right to vote and the right to own a firearm. This is yet another example of how deeply impactful your case could be on your life. I am here to help you protect your rights.

What Are The Felony Classes In Florida?

State law divides felony offenses into five different classes. What class a state felony is in impacts how severe the penalties you could face in the event of a conviction. The classes in Florida and the typical maximum prison sentence connected to them are:

  • Third-degree felony: Up to five years
  • Second-degree felony: Up to 15 years
  • First-degree felony: Up to 30 years
  • Life felony: Up to life in prison
  • Capital felony: The death penalty

So, what class a felony you are accused of falls into can have major implications for you and your case. I am ready to answer any questions you have about Florida felony classes.

Can Felony Charges Be Dropped In Florida?

Yes, there are various circumstances under which such a charge could be outright dismissed or reduced to a lower class or a misdemeanor. What options you could have for seeking reduction or dismissal can vary greatly based on the specific circumstances of your case. Turn to me for clear explanations of what such routes may be available to you.

What Is The Three Felony Rule In Florida?

This rule, also known as the three-strikes rule, applies to violent felonies, such as assault, robbery and sexual assault. Under this law, if you receive a conviction on a third violent felony, it triggers a harsher mandatory minimum prison sentence for your case. What the minimum is depends on the crime in question and other factors. In some cases, it could be life in prison. I can advise you on whether this rule could be in play in your case and what this could mean for what defense strategies might be the best fit for you.
