What is Considered a Felony in California?
Felonies in California include a wide range of serious crimes. While misdemeanors are punishable by up to a year in county jail, felonies often result in state prison sentences of over a year, and in some cases, life imprisonment.
Common felony charges include:
Assault with a deadly weapon
Domestic violence and spousal abuse
Robbery and burglary
Grand theft
Drug trafficking or possession with intent to sell
Felony DUI (repeat offenses or those with injury)
Sex crimes
Fraud and embezzlement
Firearms and weapons violations
Many of these charges fall under California’s “Three Strikes Law,” which can enhance penalties for repeat offenders. That’s why your choice of attorney is critical.
