Dallas Criminal Attorney
Felonies in Texas
Felonies are very serious crimes with severe penalties –particularly in Texas. Our state still permits the death penalty and performs executions at four times the rate of any other state. If the crime is a federal felony, you may face the death penalty as well. With this in mind, it is obvious the right Dallas criminal attorney can quite literally mean the difference between life and death.
A number of crimes that would normally be misdemeanors still end up being charged as felonies when there are enhancing circumstances, such as special victims, a high monetary value related to the crime and what the defendant’s prior record shows. If your misdemeanor crime is being charged as a felony, a Dallas criminal attorney can argue for the charges to be reduced back to a misdemeanor again.
When you are being charged with a felony crime, you still have rights. One of those rights is the right to a fair trial. Another is the right to an attorney.
