Attorney Protecting the Future of Clients Charged With Felony Crimes
Felony charges are considered the most serious of all criminal offenses, and a felony conviction can put your financial stability, freedom, and future at risk. There are other effects that some may not consider, however. Stress experienced during the process, marring of your reputation, and the ever-looming fear of a conviction can fracture your family, affect your social life, and even impact your health. At Fotopoulos Law Office, we understand the enormity of your situation. We are dedicated to helping you avoid the devastating effects that a felony charge will have on your life, and our attorney will give you the skilled and aggressive representation you deserve.
Felony Charges in Illinois
The consequences of a felony charge are dependent upon the details and circumstances of the case, but they can range anywhere from a year to life in prison. Hefty fines, mandatory victim restitution, and court supervision or long-term probation with onerous requirements are other common consequences that can affect those who are convicted of felony charges. There are also many collateral consequences or ways in which a conviction can impact your everyday life.
One of the most damaging effects is the way that a felony will limit your employment opportunities. In general, you will have a harder time finding work with a felony conviction, and you will also be barred from pursuing certain types of careers, particularly those that are government-paid (firefighters, law enforcement, etc.) or require a professional license to practice (healthcare worker, airplane pilot, nail technician, etc.). The inability to find employment can affect your financial stability. You could also experience limited housing options, you may be unable to receive government-funded assistance (such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), and you could even become an outcast in your own community.
