Rhode Island Felonies Crimes Lawyer
Facing felony or misdemeanor charges in Rhode Island?
A felony is a serious crime that may be punishable by a minimum of one (1) year in jail and a maximum of life in prison. According to the legal dictionary, a felony is "a crime sufficiently serious to be punishable by death or a term in state or federal prison, as distinguished from a misdemeanor which is only punishable by confinement to county or local jail and/or a fine." The distinction between a misdemeanor and a felony is not always clear.
These charges can seem daunting and discouraging, but with the proper defense there is still hope for a brighter future. It is extremely important that if you or a loved one is under investigation for, formally charged with or has already been arrested for any type of felony offense, that you contact a skilled Rhode Island criminal defense attorney immediately. Avoiding a conviction is of the upmost priority because a permanent criminal record will ruin many educational and vocational opportunities for you in the future.
