What is the Difference Between a Misdemeanor and Felony Crime?
The main difference between these two criminal offenses will be the severity of the penalties. Misdemeanor crimes are punishable for up to one (1) year imprisonment and up to $1,000.00 fine, whereas a felony crime is punishable by more than one (1) year imprisonment and more than $1,000.00 fine. If you have been charged with a misdemeanor or felony crime, be sure to contact a hard-hitting criminal lawyer without delay.

"I could not be happier with the outcome."I drive for a living and use a company car. Following my arrest by the State Police for DUI, I thought my career was over. Attorney Humphrey worked tirelessly on my case. Through his many years in practice, he knew the best way to handle my case. Immediately prior to trial because of Attorney Humphrey's knowledge of trial procedure and court rules and his experience with drunk driving cases, the DUI was dismissed by the Judge. His representation was outstanding and I could not be happier with the outcome.- Jason

"Your ability to resolve my case quickly so I could drive again is greatly appreciated."I knew my 20+ year career in the Navy was over when I was charged by Middletown Police with DUI and refusal to submit to a chemical test. You were recommended by other Navy personnel for your great work for them. Your ability to resolve my case quickly so I could drive again is greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend you to any other military personnel or civilian if they are charged with DUI or Refusal.- L.C.

"I tell all my friends who get injured to give Bob a call."After being injured in an automobile accident, I was afraid my injuries would result in the loss of my job I had for the past 21 years. Even after returning to my job, the pain from the injuries I sustained in the accident often forced me to leave my job early because the pain was too great to complete a full day of work. From the time I met with Bob until the close of my case he was always available for me. I tell all my friends who get injured to give Bob a call.- M.R.

"I went from a felony, going to jail, to a misdemeanor!"I would like to give a testimonial about the fabulous job Robert and Kim did for me. Robert made motions and got my sentence reduced to such a very minor, as in misdemeanor, when I could have been facing a felony! Robert worked with Kim and talked with the judge and the AAG to get my sentence reduced, saved my driving record and my use of an ignition breath machine. His motions were so thought out and after looking at the tape, we came up with 2 more. I cannot thank him or his team for keeping me informed, educated about the circumstances and decisions I would have to make. I could not have asked for a better lawyer or team than his. I went from a felony, going to jail, to a misdemeanor! The man who wrote the book proved to me, he knew what he was doing and I am thankful for him and all of his team.- William C.

"It was excellent working with you."I made a stupid mistake and was charged with a criminal offense. I appreciate how quickly you were able to have the criminal charge dismissed and my record expunged because as a graduating senior I don't want anything on my record that would interfere with me getting a good job. It was excellent working with you.- Sam
