FELONIES & MISDEMEANORS
If you’ve never been in trouble with the law before, you may not be all that familiar with terms like “felony” and “misdemeanor.” Put simply, these are the two key classifications of criminal charges. While misdemeanors are what you might consider “small-time crimes,” felonies tend to be more harmful and therefore more severely punished.
Many crimes can be classified as either a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the way the crime was carried out. For instance, possessing a small amount of marijuana would be considered a misdemeanor in Iowa, while getting caught with a large amount of cocaine with the intention of selling it would get charged at the felony level.

Other crimes are always charged at a certain level. For instance, murder is considered a capital offense, which automatically means that it’s charged as a felony.
Regardless of whether your crime is being charged as a misdemeanor or felony, it’s crucial that you work with an attorney you feel you can trust. After all, when it comes to your criminal record (and, possibly, your very freedom), your attorney’s experience and ability to communicate with you can go a long way.
