Felony Defense

If you are charged with a felony, that is a serious accusation that will negatively affect you for the rest of your life. Sometimes, the prosecutor will agree to change the charges to a lesser felony or a misdemeanor.

In a worst-case scenario, you did not do what you were accused of. Regardless of the situation, you do not want to try to go through the trial process by yourself. You need someone who is experienced in handling cases like yours to ensure you obtain the best outcome possible.

Outcomes vary depending on the type of felony, your record, and other factors. The prosecutors and courts look at everything – as long as there is someone there to point everything out. You also need someone to ensure that no one violates your rights, whether in how they settle, handle the trial, or charge you after the trial.

While misdemeanors can follow you around, landlords and creditors are more likely to do business with you. Some employers will not hire a felon but will hire someone with a misdemeanor on his or her record. We try to lower your charges if we can’t get them dismissed – and sometimes the police, prosecutor, or court errs, which could result in a dismissal of your case. An experienced criminal defense attorney works with prosecutors to work on a deal so that you can hopefully better your life, which is more difficult to do if you have a felony on your record.

If you are charged with a felony, it will change your life forever – even if the court orders no or little jail time and probation. Contact The Law Office of Adam Williams in Norman, OK, for a consultation if the police arrest you and charge you with a felony.
