Felonies

Felony charges are more serious than misdemeanor charges and thus carry more severe penalties, ranging from supervised probation and incarceration in the county jail to incarceration in state prison and sometimes even a life term in prison. You should always have an experienced and skilled criminal defense attorney when you are investigated and/or charged with a felony offense. A felony conviction will have huge consequences on your everyday life.

The experienced criminal defense attorneys at Jackson Law will help you navigate through the court system while advocating solely for your best interests.
