Felony accusations must be handled with the seriousness they deserve. With complicated sentencing guidelines and long-lasting ramifications, a felony charge can affect you for the rest of your life.

Felony crimes can include:
- Felony Theft
- Distribution of narcotics

- Unlawful imprisonment
What are the Penalties for Felonies?
The level of felony you have been accused of will also have an effect on the sentence you may face:
- Class A felonies are the most serious and can result in life in prison and $50,000 in fines.
- Class B felonies can result in 14 years in prison and up to $20,000 in fines.
- Class C felonies can result in 5 years in prison and $10,000 in fines.
In addition to these maximum sentencing guidelines, Washington state divides sentencing into Levels with corresponding sentencing amounts. These levels work in tandem with a pre-sentencing report which also illustrates past criminal, employment, and family history, victim statements, a psychological assessment, and more, to determine the sentencing guidelines you may face.
