Felony Charges

Indiana felony charges are more serious than misdemeanors and carry with them more serious punishments in terms of incarceration and potential fines which could be imposed. However, just being charged with a felony does not mean you will necessarily be found guilty of that felony. Just like with any criminal case, it is important to decide first whether the charge was properly filed. A few of the issues we evaluate include:

• Was there probable cause to bring the charge?
• Was there any police activity that would cause there to be some question about the evidence to be presented?
• Would the Rules of Evidence limit the admissibility of certain items of evidence?
• Is there any specific defense to be raised? If there is, are there requirements to effectively raise the defense?
