Criminal offenses are separated into categories depending upon the particular punishment that may be applied upon a conviction. A felony is the most serious category that an offense may fall under. Misdemeanors are less serious, and infractions are the most minor of offenses a person can commit. Some offenses may be charged as felonies or misdemeanors, depending upon the particular case and what punishment is sought by the prosecuting attorney.

Under Michigan law, a defendant convicted of a felony may face a term of imprisonment in state prison for more than one year.  The maximum penalties for a capital felony, such as first degree murder, may include life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. A felony arrest remains on your record for life, regardless of whether you were eventually found guilty or not guilty. Information about this arrest or your conviction can be used against you in future cases, resulting in increased penalties. 

If you or someone you know is currently under investigation or has been arrested for a felony, it is important that you consult a lawyer as soon as possible. A criminal defense lawyer will need to review the charges and make a determination of how to approach challenging these allegations. Particularly for felony offenses, much more is on the line. Your entire future may be in jeopardy.
