A charge of a felony is generally an accusation levied on people who have allegedly committed a severe offense or crime. The illegal or criminal acts are divided into three major groups; petty offenses, misdemeanors, and felonies.

So what are felonies?
When a person is charged with a felony, it shows that the person is indicted for committing various crimes which may include but are not limited to the following;
  • Arson
  • Murder
  • Rape
  • Manslaughter
  • Burglary
  • Tax revision
  • Aggravated assault
  • Various fraud forms
  • Vehicular homicide
  • Federal property vandalism
  • Treason
  • Perjury
While there is a huge list of crimes that fall under felonies, some of these potential felonies also include child pornography, mail tempering or copyright infringement. Usually, felonies are categorized on the basis of crime severity.

So is important to get the help of a lawyer when charged?
A felony is nothing less than a solemn criminal act so if you are charged with any of these charges, it is recommended to immediately search for a qualified criminal defense attorney, having years of experience.
The punishments for felonies are severe and only a professional and competent lawyer understands how laws related to these charges, operates. So if you get the assistance of a professional you are more likely to have your name cleared.
People who are found guilty may be sentenced to at least a year in national or local prison. However, if a person is found guilty of any other potential offenses such as robbery, murder, rape or violence, he/she might even receive a life imprisonment including the death sentence. Indeed, the laws and punishments related to each state vary.
In countries such as the United States, there are various classes of felonies. Besides, if a person is charged with committing a felony, he/she may lose the rights of citizenship or in the case of an unlawful resident of the country, the person may get deported immediately.
