Shelby Township Felony Charges Lawyer

Felony charges in Michigan carry life-altering consequences. If you’ve been accused of a felony in Shelby Township, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney on your side immediately.

At the Law Office of Julian J. Poota, PLLC, we’ve defended clients against serious felony charges for over 20 years. Our goal is to protect your freedom, reputation, and future.

Felony Charges in Michigan

Felonies are the most serious category of crimes in Michigan. They include offenses like:

  • Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC)
  • Felonious Assault
  • Weapons Offenses
  • Drug Delivery or Manufacturing
  • Home Invasion
  • Fraud and Embezzlement
  • Homicide

Penalties may include years—or even life—in prison, large fines, and long-term loss of rights like voting or gun ownership.

Felony vs. Misdemeanor in Michigan

Misdemeanors are punishable by up to 1 year in jail. Felonies carry sentences of more than 1 year in state prison. In addition to prison time, a felony conviction can result in:

  • A permanent criminal record
  • Barriers to employment and housing
  • Loss of firearm rights
  • Immigration consequences for non-citizens

The earlier you hire a felony defense attorney, the better your chances of avoiding these outcomes.
