Based upon severity, crimes are grouped into two categories. Those categories are misdemeanors or felonies. Crimes that fall into the felony category involve the more serious crimes. Additionally, crimes labeled as felonies also carry more serious penalties. Perhaps most important to remember is that a criminal conviction can have long lasting consequences which may not be readily apparent. For example, future employability may be affected when a criminal record search reveals a criminal conviction to a potential employer. In addition, a conviction such as drunk driving can have a devastating impact on one’s ability to obtain certain professional licenses (i.e. CDL, nurse, physician, attorney, etc.). Understanding your legal rights and having a qualified criminal defense attorney analyze the evidence is essential to making sure that your case is handled properly.
