Illinois Criminal Defense Attorneys
In criminal law, crimes are categorized according to the degree 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 or financial injury. Felonies require a minimum of 1 year in prison and may carry fines as well. Misdemeanor offenses usually involve property crime, certain sexual offenses, and various civil rights violations. Misdemeanors are punishable by fines and less than a year in jail.
