FELONIES & MISDEMEANORS
Being arrested and charged with a crime is a scary and intimidating event. It is essential that you hire an attorney with knowledge of the criminal system and its processes and who has experience with criminal charges. I am a former prosecutor who is now standing up for the rights of criminal defendants. I have extensive experience both prosecuting and defending felonies and misdemeanors and can guide you through the criminal process. I will fight hard for you to achieve the best possible outcome from your criminal charges. I will represent you with confidence and fervor. Call the Law Office of Richard Zemble at 302-377-4471 or email the Law Office of Richard Zemble for a free initial consultation.
A misdemeanor is punishable by up to a year in jail and a $2,300 fine. Felonies have much higher maximum penalties. A person convicted of a felony loses certain civil rights, such as the right to own a weapon and the right to vote. I will work hard to achieve the best possible outcome for you.

Felony and Misdemeanor Sentencing by the Courts
A Class A felony is more severely punished than the lower classification of Class B felonies and Class B felonies are more severely punished than Class C felonies and so forth. Also, the Statute of Limitations varies by jurisdiction and types of felony. I have identified the Delaware classifications of felonies, misdemeanors and violations, and the sentencing for each charge on the Delaware felony sentencing guidelines page, the misdemeanors and violations sentencing guidelines page and the SENTAC charts for sentencing guidelines. For crimes that are served by federal courts, I have selections from the Sentencing Guidelines from the Federal Sentencing Commission. Because traffic violations are common, I have listed the PennDot (Pennsylvania Department of Transportation) chart of points received from traffic violations.
