Felony vs. Misdemeanor Charges
Criminal charges are generally categorized into two primary types: felonies and misdemeanors. Felonies are considered more serious crimes, such as murder, rape, grand theft, or kidnapping, and often carry heavier penalties, including hefty fines, long-term imprisonment, or even capital punishment. Conversely, misdemeanors are less serious offenses like petty theft, public intoxication, or minor assault, and typically involve lighter penalties such as smaller fines or short-term jail sentences.
Despite the severity spectrum, both felony and misdemeanor charges can significantly impact your life, your reputation, and your future opportunities. This is where the role of an experienced criminal defense attorney becomes crucial.
Long-term consequences of a criminal conviction can include:
- Permanent criminal record, which can affect future job prospects and housing applications
- Loss of certain civil rights, including the right to vote or possess firearms
- Difficulty in obtaining professional licenses or security clearances
- Potential for increased sentences for future offenses due to prior convictions
- Social stigma and strained personal relationships
- Difficulty in obtaining loans or financial aid for education
- Potential for deportation or exclusion from entry for non-citizens
The Importance of Legal Representation
No matter the charges you face, securing a seasoned attorney can offer numerous benefits. Knowledgeable in the intricacies of criminal law and experienced in navigating the complex judicial system, an attorney can provide sound legal advice, build a robust defense strategy, help negotiate plea deals, and work tirelessly to protect your rights as you seek the best possible outcome.
An attorney not only brings legal expertise but also offers emotional support and reassurance in what may be one of the most stressful periods of your life.

"Forever grateful."I was going through a DUI situation and unfortunately it was not my first.....I was actually now facing a felony. What mattered to me even more this time was that I was now married with children and it was not just me that faced the harsh consequences but my wife and daughters too. When all was said and done Mr. Noonan was able to close the case which was fair in the fact that I paid my debt to society, but I was able to do so while still maintaining my career and my freedom from incarceration. For this I will be forever grateful.- Daniel Broughton
