WHAT IS A FELONY IN VIRGINIA?
Under Virginia law, a felony is a serious criminal offense punishable by more than 12 months in prison. Felony convictions can also result in substantial fines, loss of voting and firearm rights, and lasting damage to your personal and professional life.
Virginia categorizes felonies into classes:
- Class 1 Felony – Life imprisonment and fines up to $100,000
- Class 2 Felony – 20 years to life imprisonment
- Class 3 Felony – 5 to 20 years imprisonment
- Class 4 Felony – 2 to 10 years imprisonment
- Class 5 & 6 Felonies – May carry prison time or lesser penalties depending on the case
Understanding the classification, and how it applies to your specific charge, is critical to building an effective defense.
WHY FELONY DEFENSE REQUIRES EXPERIENCE
Virginia’s criminal laws are strict, and prosecutors pursue felony charges aggressively. Convictions can carry mandatory minimum sentences, leaving little room for leniency without a well-prepared defense.
