Bloomington Misdemeanor Criminal Charge Attorney
Some things to know about criminal charges include:
Felonies
- Felonies are criminal charges that are punishable by a year or more in prison.
Misdemeanors
- Misdemeanors are deemed to be less serious charges than felonies.
- In Illinois, some crimes that are usually misdemeanors will become felonies if someone is charged with that same crime a second time. (e.g., retail theft, domestic battery)
Drug Charges
- Drug charges can be either misdemeanors or felonies
- Marijuana or cannabis possession can vary based on the quantity of the drug possessed.
- Controlled substances and methamphetamine possession result in felony charges.
Regardless of a charge being a felony or misdemeanor, we are passionate about defending our clients. When mistakes have been made by the government, we do not hesitate to point these out to juries in order to defend our clients' rights. Through piercing cross-examination, we often show that an arrest was made not based on objective facts, but on subjective observations of the arresting officer.
