What Is The Difference Between A Misdemeanor And A Felony?
Felonies are classified as a more serious criminal charge in Maryland than a misdemeanor. As such, a felony conviction typically results in larger fines and longer prison sentences than a misdemeanor.
Our dedicated team of criminal defense attorneys represents clients across Maryland facing felony charges, including:
- First-degree murder/homicide
- Property crimes, including arson
- Robbery and theft exceeding $1,000
- Most sex crimes, including rape
- Sexual assault
- White collar crimes, including fraud
Being convicted of any felony sex crime in Maryland will require you to register as a sex offender.
What Is The Difference Between First-Degree Assault And Second-Degree Assault?
The laws surrounding first- and second-degree assault are articulated under S3-202 and S3-203, respectively.
First-degree assault is a more serious felony charge that occurs when someone causes or tries to cause “serious physical injury.” A conviction could result in up to 25 years in prison.
Second-degree assault, while less severe than first-degree assault, still carries significant consequences if convicted. Defined as an attempt to inflict bodily harm, second-degree assault can result in up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $2,500.
Second-degree assault is typically a misdemeanor. However, if the assault occurs against a police officer, probation officer or someone providing emergency services, the charge becomes a felony.
