Pasadena Felony Defense Attorney
Due to the potentially severe consequences of a felony offense, it is of
the utmost importance that a person facing felony charges seek the legal
counsel of an experienced Pasadena criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
A felony is the most serious type of criminal offense for which a person
may face charges. All crimes are categorized depending on the particular
penalties that may be imposed upon a conviction: infractions, misdemeanors
and felonies. Felonies are the most serious, with penalties ranging from
a minimum of 1 year of imprisonment in state prison all the way to the
death penalty. A misdemeanor is less serious, with imprisonment of up
to 1 year in county jail as possible penalties. An infraction is the least
serious of all, with no imprisonment necessary and typically only a fine
imposed as a penalty.
Another matter that makes felony convictions in Pasadena, California so
serious is the state's three strikes law. Under this law, a person who
is convicted of a serious or violent felony offense will receive a "strike"
on his or her record. Upon receiving a second strike, the offender will
face double the normal penalties for this offense. A third conviction
- for any type of felony - will then mean that the defendant may face
25 years to life in prison.
