- Don’t resist arrest

Felony Vs. Misdemeanor Charges
In Florida, misdemeanors are less severe offenses, typically punishable by fines and up to one year in jail. On the other hand, felonies are more serious crimes that can result in lengthy prison terms and significant fines.
Examples of felony offenses:
- Armed robbery
- Aggravated assault
Examples of misdemeanors:
- Petty theft
- Disorderly conduct
Convictions, especially for felony crimes, can have dire consequences, including loss of civil rights, employment difficulty and trouble finding housing. Your criminal law attorney can defend your rights and mitigate these and other potential impacts.
Can Criminal Records Be Expunged In Florida?
Yes, criminal records can be expunged in Florida under certain conditions. The process involves petitioning the court to remove or seal the record, making it inaccessible to the public. Expungement can help you move forward without the burden of a criminal record.
