A felony is a criminal offense, considered much more severe of a criminal charge than a misdemeanor charge. A felony conviction could result in more severe fines, longer periods of probation, and / or jail time.

Also at stake when facing felony criminal charges are some of your basic civil rights, which may include your right to vote, your ability to be employed by the government or other specific occupations, your ability to sit on a jury, your right to own, use, or possess a firearm, etc…

The Law Office of Gail Cheatwood represents the legal rights of those facing felony criminal charges, in an effort to resolve these charges, while protecting your legal civil rights, which include your right to the freedom and privileges enjoyed by society as American citizens.

Fines and penalties for a felony conviction may include:

  • 3rd degree felony: punishable by up to a $5,000 fine, five (5) years probation, five (5) years jail.

    •

  • 2nd degree felony: punishable by up to a $10,000 fine, fifteen (15) years probation, fifteen (15) years jail.

  • 1st degree felony: punishable by up to $10,000 fine, thirty (30) years probation, thirty (30) years jail.

    •

    Some felonies have minimum required jail sentences upon conviction.  There are also criminal offenses punishable by life imprisonment (a “life felony”) and others punishable by life imprisonment or death (a “capital felony”).

    • Aggravated Battery (with a deadly weapon or serious bodily injury, or to an elderly person, pregnant woman, or peace officer.)

    • Aggravated Fleeing to Elude

    • Child Abuse

    • Computer crimes (larceny of money or intellectual property or possession of pornographic, lewd, and lascivious material.)

    • Drug Trafficking

    • Drug Possession / Delivery

    • Felony Battery

      •

    • Felony DUI with serious injury / death or prior convictions

    • Forgery

    • Lewd & Lascivious conduct

    • Possession of concealed weapon (or with a prior felony)

    • Racketeering

    • Resisting Arrest with violence

    • Sexual Battery or Rape

    Convicted felons are often prohibited from employment in occupations involving the handling of money or valuables.  A  felony conviction can also be a significant stumbling block if you later decide to pursue a professional discipline field of employment, such as medicine, nursing, teaching, real estate, financial services, or practicing law.  If you are already licensed in a particular discipline profession, a felony conviction could result in a review of your "character and fitness", jeopardizing your ability to continue to work in that field.
