Seattle Felony Crimes Defense Attorney
Have you been charged with a felony?
Criminal offenses range in their severity, some carrying much stiffer penalties than others. A felony is the most serious form of criminal offense, and can be met with punishment that includes many years spent in prison. In order for a prosecutor to charge a person with a felony, they must usually obtain an indictment from a grand jury. While regular (or petit) jury trials are often held in public, grand jury proceedings are not, and all involved in such proceedings are sworn to secrecy. This protects those who are under investigation for a felony, but have not been formally charged. The list of felony offenses in our nation is long, and some common examples include:
- Robbery
- Grand theft
- Probation violations
- Assault on a law enforcement officer
- Weapons offenses
- White collar crimes (such as embezzlement and forgery)
- Sexual battery
- Kidnapping
- Child abuse
- Murder
