Criminal Law
Criminal charges in Florida can range from non-serious misdemeanor offenses, to very serious felony crimes that can carry extensive amounts of time in prison. Misdemeanors can be punished by sixty days and in other cases up to a year in the county jail, while felonies can carry five, fifteen, and thirty thirty years in state prison depending on the circumstances. The most serious felonies can be punished by life in prison, and in the case of capitol murder, death.
