Frequently Asked
Questions

What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?
A misdemeanor is a less serious crime, generally punishable by up to one year in jail. A felony is a serious crime punishable by more than one year in state or federal prison. Felonies also carry significant long-term collateral consequences.
In the federal system, pretrial release is governed by the Bail Reform Act, and there is no cash bail bondsman system. Instead, a person is either released on conditions—often secured by property or co-signers—or detained pending trial if the court finds they pose a flight risk or a danger to the community. Even if bail is initially denied, an experienced criminal defense attorney may still be able to secure release by presenting a comprehensive bail package and making a strong argument in court.
