Felony crimes are considered the most severe offenses, often involving dangerous weapons, serious bodily injury or death, or significant financial or property damage. Many drug possession cases may also be classified as felonies. If you’re facing a felony charge, it’s critical to have experienced criminal lawyers on your side. In addition to the possibility of incarceration, a felony conviction can lead to long-term consequences such as the loss of voting rights, disqualification from running for public office, ineligibility for certain professional licenses, and the loss of the right to own or possess firearms.
Generally, misdemeanors are crimes that are non-violent or involve lower levels of harm than felonies. In Louisiana, misdemeanors are defined as any crime not punishable by hard labor. Although misdemeanor charges are less serious than felony charges, a strong defense from skilled criminal lawyers is still essential, as a conviction can carry serious consequences. Penalties for a misdemeanor crime may include fines, property forfeiture, and up to six months of jail time. Your employment and educational opportunities could also be negatively affected.
