Felonies | Melbourne Criminal Defense Lawyer

If you have been charged with a felony offense in Brevard County, FL, it is absolutely vital to retain an experienced, aggressive criminal defense attorney immediately. Felonies, by definition, are serious offenses. They carry potentially life-altering consequences. For example, many jobs require licensing by the State of Florida. Being a convicted felon could cause you to become ineligible for those licenses, and therefore ineligible for those jobs. Also, a felony conviction stays on your record for life. Prospective employers who run background checks on you will see a prior felony conviction on your record. Also, if convicted of a felony in Florida, you will lose many of your civil rights including your right to serve on a jury, to run for public office, to own a firearm, and your right to vote. In addition, the Office of the State Attorney uses its most experienced prosecutors to handle felony cases. Because the State of Florida brings their “A-game” to prosecute you, it is important that you fight back by retaining a Brevard County Felony Defense attorney who has the experience and knowledge to challenge these prosecutors.
