What Is Considered a Felony in the Commonwealth?

In Massachusetts, certain charges aren't automatically labeled a felony crime. It's more about the maximum sentencing that's possible with a given criminal charge. If the maximum sentence exceeds a certain threshold, then that crime will be considered a felony—even if the actual sentencing ends up being far more lenient. However, if a defendant has two prior felony convictions on their record and is convicted of a third felony, then a judge must hand down the maximum sentence, treating the defendant as a "habitual criminal".

We can help you fight against criminal charges that yield felony sentences, including charges of:

Possible Felony Sentences in Southborough, MA

Typically, the potential penalties for a felony conviction include years in prison (sometimes with a mandatory minimum sentence), plus thousands of dollars in fines, with the potential in some cases to result in a life sentence without parole. However, while some felony convictions can lead to lengthy prison sentences, in many cases, incarceration may not be the automatic outcome. For some felony charges, a judge may have the option to choose a suspended sentence or a conditional sentence. With a suspended sentence, the defendant can avoid prison if they abide by all the terms of their probation. Under a conditional sentence, the defendant must pay the fine, and by a certain deadline, otherwise, they will be incarcerated.

However, even if a felony sentence is relatively lenient, it can still mean that you would forfeit certain rights, such as the right to own firearms or to vote. A felony conviction also makes it extraordinarily difficult to find good employment.
