Charged with a Felony in Clarksville, TN?

Any crime is considered serious, but in cases of charges being filed and the potential penalties, felonies are significantly dangerous than misdemeanors. A misdemeanor is a crime punishable by up to one year in jail, whereas a felony is a crime punishable by more than a year, and often multiple years, and the sentence is usually served in state prison.

Depending on the severity of the crime and the defendant's prior criminal record, life imprisonment is also a possibility for certain felony convictions.
