Being charged with a serious felony is an overwhelming experience for the person being charged and their loved ones. The implications of a felony conviction often include a jail or prison sentence and long periods of probation or parole after that sentence is served. It is usually never clear at the outset whether a person convicted of felony offense will actually spend time in custody. However, there are guaranteed consequences that result from a felony conviction in all cases: the loss of your civil rights.
The civil rights you will lose upon a felony conviction include:
- Your right to vote
- Your right to serve on a jury
- Your right to hold public office
- Your right to possess a firearm
- You will be required to provide a DNA sample to the Federal Government.
The attorneys at Brian Webb Legal understand the profound effect the loss of these basic rights can have on an individual and their loved ones. That is why we strive to do all that we can to keep our clients from having to plead to, or be convicted at trial of, a felony offense.
