Felony Crimes in Tennessee
Distinguishing between felonies and misdemeanors is primarily a matter of the severity of the alleged crime and its corresponding punishment. Misdemeanors are considered less severe and typically carry a maximum jail time of 11 months and 29 days, along with potential fines.
On the other hand, felonies have significantly stiffer penalties, with jail sentences ranging from one year to life imprisonment. These offenses include murder, kidnapping, rape, vehicular homicide, drug trafficking, aggravated assault, robbery, theft, white-collar crimes, and more.

Felony Sentencing in Tennessee
Felony sentencing in Tennessee follows a structured approach. For example, a Class C Felony, like robbery, has a standard sentencing range of three to 15 years. However, this can vary depending on whether the person charged is a repeat offender. A standard offender, or someone with no prior convictions, will likely face a sentence on the lower end. In contrast, a multiple offender, persistent offender, or career offender could face up to a maximum of 15 years.
Put Two Decades of Professional Experience in Your Corner
Navigating the complexities of felony charges necessitates the immediate involvement of experienced legal help. The severity of the charges implies potential life-altering consequences, from lengthy incarceration to hefty fines, extended probation, and the future with a permanent felony record.
A felony record can negatively impact your ability to find employment or housing, disqualify you from professional licenses and educational opportunities, or result in deportation efforts if you are a noncitizen.
