In this section of our website, you can learn more about what to expect if you have to go to court due to an accusation of a serious felony. Obviously, these cases can be very serious and you want to make sure that you are as prepared as you can be. You can learn more about the court process for a serious felony case in this section.

What You’ll Learn

In this section, learn more about what to do if you have been charged with a serious felony and if court is in your future. You can also learn about how you should react if you are a person of interest in a case. You can protect and defend yourself by learning more on this page.

While state court cases proceed by warrant or arrest, in federal court, your case could involve a target letter. A target letter, explained here in more detail, lets you know that a grand jury is looking into you. If you are a witness or a target, you could be summoned to appear before a grand jury. Of course, you should always have a lawyer to work with if you are facing any involvement in the federal system – because the federal court system, especially federal sentencing, is a very complicated area of law. Having a lawyer on your side is the best way to defend yourself against the charges that you face.

You can learn more about the penalties for serious felonies on this page. We also have pages in this section that answer frequently asked questions about both serious felony and federal crimes.
