What is the punishment for a felony?

Crimes are given labels according to the legislature's belief of their severity and the intent with which they are carried out. In the state of Illinois, felonies typically involve violent crime resulting in bodily, psychological or financial injury. They are sorted by a numbering system, from the least severe Class 4 to the more severe Class 1 felonies. There are several special classes of Class X felonies and murder, which is its own class. All Illinois felonies have a minimum of at least 1 year in prison and large fines.

As your criminal defense lawyers, Brucar & Yetter evaluate and explain the legal options available to those accused of felony and misdemeanor offenses, taking steps to ensure their interests are protected during negotiations and trial.

Emerging Trends: What You Should Know

Increasingly, more and more offenses are being classified as felonies. With the exception of small amounts of marijuana possession, all drug offenses result in felony drug charges. DUI with no insurance or no valid driver's license, even for first time DUI offenses, are now felonies as well.

As your criminal defense attorneys we first explore all possible defenses at trial and motions to suppress. Only then do we turn our attention to considering alternatives to jail or solutions involving reduced charges. In some cases we can even remove felonies from your record depending on the charges.
