What Is the Definition of a Felony?
Felony charges are the most serious level of criminal offenses in the United States, and usually carry a penalty of more than one year in prison, stiff fines, and collateral consequences such as loss of civil rights and employment difficulties. Felony charges can be levied for numerous types of allegations, but often include such things as violent crimes (murder, robbery, manslaughter), property crimes (theft, burglary), white collar crimes (security fraud, tax evasion), or drug-related crimes (manufacturing, possession, delivery). A felony conviction can impact you in virtually every area of your life-one of the reasons why it is vital to obtain experienced legal representation as soon as possible.

Our Process: Felony Defense Centered on You
“No two felonies are ever the same.”
At MN Defense Attorney, every client relationship starts off with a free, confidential discussion of what you’re up against, the facts of your case, and your goals. We take the time to investigate the particulars of each case, collect the facts, thoroughly examine police procedures, and look for any violations of your constitutional rights. We then work with forensic experts and specialists in computer forensics, digital evidence, mental health, personality and character witnesses, and others to develop an aggressive, comprehensive defense.
You are never just a case number to us. Our focus on you as a person means responsive, open communication, informing you of every step so you can follow along at each stage, and fighting with total commitment on your behalf – be it from motions prior to trial, to securing a verdict by a jury or perhaps even getting the best result possible through a plea agreement.
Understanding the Felony Criminal Process
The criminal justice system is complex, particularly for you if you are unfamiliar with many of its parts. At MN Defense Attorney, we make sure clients know every step of the way:
- Investigation and arrest – We become involved as soon as you are the subject of an investigation or arrested, and protect you from self-incrimination and abuse of your rights.
- Arraignment and bail – We seek reasonable and just bail terms and make certain you know what the charges against you are.
- Pre-trial motions and hearings – We challenge evidence submitted by the prosecution, suppress illegally obtained evidence, and seek successful pre-trial dismissals of cases when possible.
- Trial preparation – We prepare a thorough defense, explain our strategy to you, develop witnesses, and expose weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
- Trial – Our aggressive trial advocacy has earned a reputation for a high rate of obtaining favorable verdicts.
- Sentencing and appeal – Outside jail, rehabilitation and completion of your sentence imposes serious challenges for you; if necessary we advocate to lower the severity of sentences or appeal guilty verdicts or wrongful convictions.
At every stage of the game we are beside you, supporting you, explaining the law and defending your rights.
