Understanding Your Charges & Possible Sentences

For a better idea of what to expect during and from the legal process, it's essential that you understand the nature of the charges against you, as well as the strictest (and most lenient) possible sentences you face.

Factors that will affect the sentencing and possible outcomes of your case include:

• the nature of the charge filed : While misdemeanor charges are less serious charges that only carry up to a year in jail, felonies can have far more serious sentences, including life in prison. Felonies are classified from “A” to “E,” with an “A” felony being the most serious crime.
• whether the crime is considered to be violent : Violent crimes, particularly those that result in injuries or death, will carry harsher punishments than non-violent crimes.
• an individual's criminal record : Those who have a criminal history tend to receive harsher sentencing than individuals without a previous criminal record.
