Felonies are serious offenses, carrying much higher penalties and sentences than misdemeanors, and require the attention of an experienced attorney. Generally, felonies are considered as capital, first degree, second degree, third degree, or “state jail” felonies.

The punishment for each class of felony charges can range from life imprisonment and capital punishment for the most serious offenses (capital crime) to a 180 day state jail term for the least serious offenses (state jail felonies).

Felony offenses include:

• Capital Felonies – Murder while committing any other felony
• First Degree Felonies – Murder, Aggravated Kidnapping and Sexual Assault
• Second Degree Felonies – Theft, Drug Possession, Arson, Burglary of a Habitation, and Sexual Offenses 
• Third Degree Felonies –  Third DWI and Possession of a Firearm by Felon
• State Jail Felonies – Drug Possession, Theft, and Reckless Child Abuse/Injury
