FELONY DEFENSE ATTORNEY

Ron L. Baum, Felony Defense Attorney; ”  I possess a number of strategies that may result in a dismissal of all charges, reduced charges being filed against you, a favorable plea agreement, a reduced sentence, or an acquittal at trial.”

Felonies encompass the most serious criminal offenses. A felony conviction can result in prison, lengthy probation, hefty fines, loss of your civil liberties, or even the death penalty. The State Attorney will determine whether to prosecute crimes as felonies or misdemeanors.

What Are some Examples of Felonies?

 

Felonies can be described as either nonviolent, or  violent offenses. Any element of force or threat involved in the commission of the crime usually results in the felony being classified as a violent offense.  The 10-20-Life statute may take effect in certain felony charges if a firearm was used in the commission of the crime.

There are many cases in which a felony charge may be given, including: 

  • Possession of Narcotics
  • Delivery or Possession with Intent to Deliver Narcotics
  • Trafficking in Drugs
  • Driving While License Suspended as a Habitual Offender
  • Grand Theft
  • Burglary
  • Embezzlement
  • Domestic Violence (felony)
  • Aggravated Assault
  • Aggravated Battery
  • Robbery
  • Sex Offenses
  • Manslaughter
  • Murder

 

Besides the possibility of serving a prison sentence upon a felony conviction, you may also face restrictions on your civil rights. Convicted felons are not allowed to serve on juries, own or possess firearms, cannot vote, or practice in certain professions.

Because of the seriousness of the consequences, it is imperative that you speak to an experienced Florida criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.  A felony charge does not necessarily have to result in a felony conviction, jail time, or the loss of your civil liberties.
