Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will I go to jail for a felony charge?

    The potential for jail time in a felony case depends on various factors, including the specific charges, the nature of the offense, and your criminal history. Felony charges can carry more severe penalties than misdemeanors and can result in imprisonment. The length of the potential jail sentence will depend on the specific circumstances of your case and the applicable sentencing guidelines. 

  • Will felony charges show up on a background check?

    Yes, felony charges are likely to show up on a background check. Felony charges are considered serious offenses and are typically part of a person's criminal record. Background checks, especially those conducted for employment, housing, or other official purposes, often include a comprehensive search of an individual's criminal history, which may reveal felony charges and convictions. However, it's important to consult with an attorney who can provide more specific information based on your individual circumstances and advise you on how to handle any potential implications of a felony charge appearing on a background check.

  • What should I do if I've been charged with a felony?

    If you've been charged with a felony, it is crucial to seek immediate legal representation from an experienced criminal defense attorney. A felony charge carries serious potential consequences, including lengthy prison sentences and significant fines. Your attorney will thoroughly review your case, assess the evidence against you, and develop a strong defense strategy tailored to your situation. It is important to refrain from discussing the case with anyone without your attorney present and to follow their guidance throughout the legal process. Your attorney will advocate for your rights, challenge the prosecution's case, and work towards achieving the best possible outcome given the circumstances of your case.
