Felonies are the most serious offenses and require vigorous defenses. The California Legislature has stated that the primary goal of the felony Determinate Sentencing Law (enacted in 1977)  is to punish offenders. If a defendant is sentenced on a felony crime he or she may be sent to State Prison.  Dan Koukol has over 20 years experience defending people accused with all kinds of felonies. He specializes in alternative sentencing on felony convictions, such as probation, rehabilitation programs and community service.

Felonies are very serious offenses and can be punishable with significantly higher fines and imprisonment in the state prison for a period of years. Capital felonies (i.e., murder) can even be punishable with death. Many sentencing issues, such as restitution to the victim of a crime, alcohol and drug programs can also apply to both felonies and misdemeanors. When facing the possibility of prison, it is critical that you hire superior representation. Dan Koukol is an expert in California sentencing law. His knowledge and expertise gives him an advantage over opposing counsel as he defends his clients.

Felonies occur under both state and federal jurisdiction. Any crimes with punishment of over $1,000 in fines or over one year in prison or probation are felonies. Examples of felonies include; homicide, burglary, robbery, drug offenses, kidnapping, sex offenses, aggrevated assault, theft and violent offenses.
