Felony Criminal Defense

In California there are two types of criminal offenses, felonies and misdemeanors. A felony is a crime punishable by time in the state prison (usually more then one year). Mr. Diamond works to dismiss all felony counts or, in the alternative, reduce them to misdemeanors or infractions.

The crime of a felony is a term used in the justice system for a very serious crime, whereas misdemeanors are considered to be less serious offenses. In California, a felony is the higher category of criminal offenses, as opposed to a misdemeanor, which is the less serious category of offenses. A felony may be punishable with imprisonment for more than one year or death in the case of the most serious felonies, such as murder.

California crimes commonly considered to be felonies include, but are not limited to the following: aggravated assault and battery, arson, burglary, some cases involving drug possession, embezzlement, grand theft, treason, espionage, racketeering, robbery, murder, rape and fraud. A drinking and driving charge can be elevated to a felony if somone is alleged to have suffered great boldily injury.
