Boston Defense Lawyers Fighting Felony Charges
Top Felony Defense Attorneys
Felonies are those crimes punishable by more than five years in state prison. Often felony convictions carry mandatory minimum prison sentences, meaning that the judge has no discretion to impose a lighter sentence or probation. If you are found guilty after trial, the judge has to impose the mandatory minimum sentence. Felony sentences are typically served in state prison as opposed to a county jail or house of correction.

Experienced Defense Against All Serious Criminal Charges
Examples of felonies include aggravated assault and battery, sex offenses, firearms charges, armed robbery, arson cases, receiving stolen property, bank robbery, and murder. Most drug charges and white-collar crimes such as fraud and embezzlement are also felonies.
If you are under investigation for a state or federal crime that could result in felony charges, it is absolutely critical that you receive a qualified criminal defense attorney’s advice as soon as possible. While judges have no discretion in the mandatory minimum sentence, the prosecutor does have discretion in deciding the crimes with which he or she will charge you. An experienced felony defense lawyer may be able to persuade prosecutors not to charge you — or to charge you with a less serious offense.
