• Weapons Charges (e.g., felony firearm, felon in possession)

• Domestic Violence – Aggravated

Felonies are punishable by more than one year in prison and often come with lasting consequences, including loss of voting rights, firearms rights, and significant barriers to employment.

Felonies in Michigan are divided by severity. Some common sentencing guidelines include:

• Class F Felony – Up to 4 years in prison (e.g., resisting arrest)
