Felonies Attorney in Plano, Texas Serving All of Collin County
A felony is the most serious type of criminal offense you can be charged with. If convicted, this charge will permanently stay on your record and carry with it serious punishment, including at least one year in prison, thousands of dollars in fines and even the death penalty in the most serious cases. In addition to any court-ordered punishments, the effect a felony conviction has on your personal and professional life is devastating.
Types of Violent Felony Crimes
Felony crimes are often associated with violent acts. The main differences between felony and misdemeanor violent crimes involve whether or not the crime was planned beforehand and the level of injuries sustained by the victim. The most common types of violent felonies include:
Vehicular homicide
Kidnapping
If convicted, any of these crimes carry serious penalties, including a lengthy prison sentence. Any conviction of a violent felony will also become a permanent part of your criminal history and remain there for all professional background checks. This will complicate your attempts to secure employment after your release from prison.
Types of Non-Violent Crimes
Although many people associate felonies with violent acts, the truth is that there are just as many nonviolent felonies you can be charged with, such as white collar crimes.
Other felony crimes include:
Burglary
Obstruction of justice
Perjury
Drug trafficking and distribution
Drug possession
Drug manufacturing
Financial fraud
Child pornography crimes
