Serious Charges Need A Serious Defense

If you're unsure what the difference is between a felony and a misdemeanor, you're not alone. Most people don't understand the nature or gravity of the charges against them. When this happens, it's important to talk to a knowledgeable attorney as soon as possible. For over 20 years, Rod Sylvester Attorney at Law, P.C., has been helping clients throughout Alabama. I can help you navigate the complicated legal system.

Representation You Can Trust

Felony charges are the most serious type of criminal offense you can face. When you are accused of a felony crime, you risk not only expensive fines but a possible prison sentence as well. I have helped clients facing a variety of felony charges, including:

  • Theft
  • Forgery
  • Assault
  • Murder
  • Rape

Based on your case, you are often facing imprisonment for more than one year in a federal or state penitentiary. If convicted, you will be classified as a "felon," which can have a massive impact on your future. You won't be able to vote, sit on a jury or possess a firearm. It can also affect your job prospects, student loans and financial aid. Once you're convicted, you will have the "felon" label for years afterward, if not the rest of your life.
