Felony Charge Defense

Being charged with a Felony Crime is a serious event that requires serious representation. The fines, penalties, and impact that a felony conviction may have on a person’s life could be significant. A felony conviction may affect a person’s future goals and opportunities for employment, housing, education, financial assistance or loans, and a whole host of other everyday situations that we often take for granted.
