New Jersey Felony Lawyers

Felonies are considered to be the most serious types of crimes. A felony is any crime that may be punishable by more than one year imprisonment, or death. In felony cases, the first appearance is called the arraignment. The case is set for a preliminary hearing after a not guilty plea. A preliminary hearing is a hearing in front of a judge, where a grand jury panel listens to the testimony of witnesses and determines whether there is sufficient evidence to make the defendant stand trial. An individual convicted of a felony will usually have more restrictions on their rights than a person convicted of a misdemeanor.
