New Jersey Felony Lawyers

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 was a felony conviction. Many employers run background checks before they will hire you. When that conviction comes up, the chances of you getting hired is zero. But it isn’t limited to work – your entire life can be negatively impacted – from getting a loan or credit card, to finding housing, voting, owning firearms, and last but not least, your reputation will irretrievably suffer.

In United States, crimes are classified into three broad categories according to their severity and repercussions: infractions, misdemeanors, and felony. Infractions are mostly petty crimes for which a jail term is not usually 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.
