A High-Stakes Felony Accusation Requires a Serious Legal Defense

The hallmark of a felony offense in Kentucky is its more severe punishment when compared to a lesser charge such as a misdemeanor. Anyone who is convicted of a felony can anticipate a lengthy jail sentence as well as the possibility of crippling fines.

What can be overlooked when contemplating the severe consequences of a felony conviction is what might happen even after the prison term is completed and the fines are paid. You may have thought that you have paid your debt to society, only to discover that a felony conviction often carries a hidden form of interest: it can follow you when you are seeking employment, for example.

It follows that if you find yourself accused of a felony offense then you need to take your legal defense very seriously. Not only is your short-term liberty at stake, but your long-term future can write on the outcome as well.
