Criminal Defense Law Firm in Knoxville, Tennessee

Representing Individuals in Knox and Anderson Counties

The criminal justice system is complex and both arrests and convictions can have immediate and long-term impacts on your life. Nearly all criminal charges carry the possibility of incarceration and fines. Not only that, but a conviction can remain on your public record, which could make life difficult long after you have completed your sentence. For example, criminal charges can compromise your professional licensure, government security clearance, commercial driver’s license, and many other privileges.

What to Know About Tennessee Misdemeanor and Felony Crimes

Misdemeanor and felony crimes in Tennessee can both result in jail time. If a person is convicted of a misdemeanor crime, they could face a jail sentence of up to 11 months and 29 days. The potential sentence for felonies is a year or much longer. The state classifies felony crimes as A, B, C, D, or E depending on their severity. In the eyes of the law, class A felonies are the most serious, while class E is the least.

Should a person be convicted of a misdemeanor or felony crime, they might also face fines. Misdemeanors can result in fines of up to $2,500. Those for a felony can go up to $50,000. It is essential to note that felony charges have more severe consequences beyond incarceration and fines. These include the potential to lose voting rights or the right to own a firearm.

Regardless of the type of crime, a conviction can have lasting effects on the lives of individuals, as well as their loved ones. This is not a reason to despair, though. With the right attorney and defense strategy, it is not impossible to get courts to reduce charges or drop them altogether.
