Oakland County Felony Lawyer

What is a Felony?

The difference between a felony and a misdemeanor depends on the severity of the crime. In Michigan, felonies are punishable by imprisonment by the state, among other things. Misdemeanors, which are less severe, may be punishable by jail time but also commonly result in fines, restitution, and community service.

Types of Felony Offenses

There are many crimes that can be tried as a misdemeanor or felony depending on the circumstances, including:

• Theft
• Assault
• Domestic violence
• Indecent exposure
• DUI charges (for multiple violations)
• Possession of a controlled substance (depending on the substance)

Drug crimes make up more than one-fourth of all charges tried at the circuit court level. Possession of small amounts of marijuana and some controlled chemical substances are generally considered misdemeanors, while other drug charges are typically felonies.
