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.
