Felony or misdemeanor? Knowing the difference matters.
Not every criminal charge carries the same consequences. Felonies are generally more serious offenses and may result in longer prison sentences, larger fines, and lasting effects on employment, housing, and civil rights. Misdemeanors are less severe but can still have significant legal and personal consequences.
If you're facing criminal charges, understanding the classification of your case is an important first step.
