Felony Defense Attorney in Huntsville and Decatur

How Does a Felony Differ from a Misdemeanor?

Are you or your loved one being accused of a criminal offense in Alabama? In the state of Alabama, a felony is any crime that is punishable by death or imprisonment in state prison for more than one year and one day. All other crimes or public offenses are treated as misdemeanors, which carry a maximum of one year in county jail. Most felony convictions can result in the loss of your professional license, the loss of your right to own firearms, loss of employment and the inability to hold office or serve as a juror. Our attorneys have handled almost every type of criminal prosecution, from simple misdemeanors to complex federal prosecutions, and have represented thousands of Alabama residents. There is a lot at stake, make sure you make the right choice. Call 256-534-3435 now.
