OREGON FELONY ATTORNEY
In Oregon the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor is categorized based on the maximum sentence that can be imposed by the Judge. Generally, misdemeanors are punishable by a maximum of one year in jail while felonies are often punished with prison sentences and large fines. Oregon has a complex set of mandatory minimum sentences that I can help you maneuver.
Felony Classifications
Felonies are classified according to their severity. They are separated into three different classifications:
- Class A Felony – Maximum of 20 years in prison
- Class B Felony – Maximum of 10 years in prison
- Class C Felony – Maximum of 5 years in prison
Felony sentences are often times increased or decreased based on several different factors, including: one’s criminal history, whether the crime was a “person crime” and whether the person is a “repeat offender.” I represent clients accused of all felonies, including:
