Understanding the Consequences of Felony Convictions
Being charged with a felony crime is a serious matter that can have long-lasting consequences. It is important to understand the potential impact of a felony conviction in Florida and how it can affect your life.
Some of the consequences of a felony conviction include:
- Lengthy prison sentences: Felony crimes carry more severe penalties compared to misdemeanors. Depending on the nature of the offense, you could face years or even decades in prison.
- Loss of civil rights: Convicted felons may lose certain civil rights, such as the right to vote, hold public office, or possess firearms.
- Difficulty finding employment: Having a felony on your record can make it challenging to secure employment. Many employers conduct background checks, and a felony conviction can significantly impact your chances of getting hired.
- Housing and rental limitations: Some landlords may have policies in place that prohibit renting to individuals with felony convictions. This can make finding suitable housing more difficult.
- Professional licensing restrictions: Certain professions require individuals to hold licenses or certifications. A felony conviction can result in the revocation or denial of these licenses, limiting your career options.
At Calvo & Calvo, our experienced Fort Meyers felony lawyers understand the gravity of these consequences and are dedicated to providing you with a strong defense. We will work tirelessly to protect your rights and achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
