Defending Individuals' Rights Since 1955
Being convicted of a felony is life-shattering – it will haunt you forever. It doesn’t matter what the crime was – it only matters that it resulted in a felony conviction. Many employers conduct background checks before hiring you. When that conviction arises, the chances of you getting hired are virtually zero. However, it isn’t limited to work – your entire life can be negatively impacted, from obtaining a loan or credit card to finding housing, voting, owning firearms, and, last but not least, your reputation will irretrievably suffer.
In the United States, crimes are classified into three broad categories according to their severity and repercussions: infractions, misdemeanors, and felonies. Infractions are mostly minor offenses for which a jail term is not typically warranted. Misdemeanors may result in possible jail terms usually not longer than a year, while a felony is the most serious of crimes, with punishment extending from a year to life in prison, and in some cases, could result in the death penalty.
With several former prosecutors comprising the criminal defense team of Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group, PC has a well-earned reputation for zealously representing individuals charged with felonies over its more than six decades of existence.
Felonies are classified as either violent or non-violent. Some white collar crimes are also considered felonies. For second-time offenders of certain misdemeanors, the misdemeanor may be elevated to a felony. The laws and punishments for felonies vary from state to state. Punishment gets increased along with the seriousness of the crime, and in some cases, the person can also lose their civil rights, such as the right to bear arms and vote in elections.
