In some cases, a particular crime may be classified as either a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the factual circumstances. For examples, assaults with physical injury are misdemeanors but those with serious physical injury are felonies, and some misdemeanor crimes, such as drunk driving, can be raised to a felony based upon a prior conviction.

What Is Considered a Felony?

There are many felony crimes, including:

  • Burglary
  • Evidence tampering
  • Forgery
  • Drug charges
  • Firearms crimes and other weapons violations
  • Money laundering

Remember, the circumstances may determine if a crime is classified as a misdemeanor, a felony or a violent felony. You may face additional mandatory penalties if your crime involved a deadly weapon. And if your crime was committed against a policeman or other law enforcement officer, you are almost certainly facing serious felony charges.

Does Having a Felony Ruin Your Life?

A felony conviction can ruin your life. It can leave you with a criminal record that prevents you from voting, purchasing a firearm, finding housing or employment, or obtaining a loan. When facing such charges, you simply must consult an attorney experienced with criminal law.

What Does Having a Felony Prevent You From Doing?
