What is the Difference Between a Felony Versus a Misdemeanor?

A crime that is classified as a felony is considered to be a more serious of an offense than that of a misdemeanor. Felony charges include higher possible penalties than misdemeanor charges. A conviction can have a long-lasting impact. In every felony case, we seek the best possible resolution, whether that be a reduction in the charge to a misdemeanor offense or a resolution that will not permanently impact a client’s criminal record.
