Felony Cases

Monroe NC Criminal Lawyer, Richard L. Brown, brings over 14 years of trial experience to the courtroom. As a result, he is extremely knowledgeable about the variances in procedure and the many facets of felony cases. What is a Felony? A felony is defined as any crime punishable by more than one year in prison, and is the highest level of crime in North Carolina. Listed below are some examples of felonies:

Homicide Trafficking Larceny of A Vehicle Assault by Strangulation

Fraud Identity Theft Embezzlement

Arm Robbery Sex Crimes Manufacturing

A key difference between a felony conviction and a misdemeanor conviction is that a felony conviction may result in the loss of certain citizenship rights, including the right to vote and the right to hold public office. In addition, a person who has been convicted of a felony cannot possess a firearm or ammunition for a firearm. If the person does, the person is liable for up to 10 years in federal prison for mere possession of something as small as a shotgun shell.

Overall, a felony conviction is a much more serious matter. If possible, you should hire a lawyer as quickly as possible if you believe you may be charged with a felony. And under no circumstances should you speak with police about the case without your lawyer present.
