Criminal Law
If you’ve found yourself in the position of defendant against criminal charges, it’s important to understand your rights and responsibilities.

Misdemeanors and Felonies
In the state of Oklahoma, crimes are either charged as a misdemeanor or a felony. Misdemeanor charges can result in up to a year in County Jail, as well as fines and probation. Misdemeanors are also predicate offenses. This means that if you are found guilty of a second offense, the crime will be ruled as a felony.
Felony Charges are significantly more grave than misdemeanor charges. In addition to all of the punishments a misdemeanor can bring, felonies can also result in multiple-year sentences at a state penitentiary, multiple fines, probation, and a tarnished criminal record.
Misdemeanors and Felonies
A felony charge could result in years at a State Penitentiary and, like a misdemeanor, also consists of multiple fines and likely probation. Being charged with a felony is significantly more grave than a misdemeanor charge; on top of the punishments accompanying a felony charge, criminal record of the charged felon is now compromised.
