What’s At Stake With A Felony Charge?
The sentences associated with felony convictions are serious.
In addition to any fines imposed, judges may also order convicted offenders to pay restitution to the alleged victims. Amounts vary by crime and the number of victims, but most defendants would likely find these financial penalties to be unaffordable.
If you are convicted of a felony in Florida, you also risk significant consequences and losses even after your sentence has been served. These include the loss of voting rights, the loss of certain professional licenses and losing the right to own a firearm, to name just a few.
