Felony crimes are punishable by time served in state prison. In North Carolina however, felony sentencing can vary greatly. Offenses are judged and sentenced individually according the severity of the crime and the criminal history of the accused.
This may sound scary to a defendant, but it is often better than the mandatory sentencing in other states. Our skilled Durham criminal lawyers are experienced defending felony charges and strive to have every charge dismissed or minimize the sentence.
