Denton Felony Defense Lawyer

What is a felony? Our criminal defense lawyer explains.

Felonies are a categorization of criminal offenses that describe more serious crimes. Most commonly, felony offenses consist of:

• Theft crimes
• Sex crimes
• Violent crimes

If you have been arrested for or are under suspicion of a weapons charge, murder, or manslaughter, it will likely be charged as a felony. Not all of these offenses will automatically be sentenced as such, but many crimes in these categories are considered felonies. If you are facing a felony charge, you should obtain experienced and competent legal guidance. At Derek A. Adame, Attorney at Law, that is what you will find from our Denton criminal defense attorney.
