What’s the Difference Between a Felony & a Misdemeanor?
Misdemeanors encompass offenses for which an individual can be fined and incarcerated for up to one year. Felonies, on the other hand, involve sentences exceeding one year and pertain to more severe crimes. If convicted, felonies can come with decades or even life in prison and/or thousands in fines, depending on the offense and your criminal history.
While misdemeanors are less serious than felonies, they still carry significant consequences and must be handled adeptly to mitigate their impact on one's life.
Washington’s misdemeanor categories include:
- Gross misdemeanors: If convicted, this is punishable by up to one year in jail and/or a $5,000 fine.
- Simple misdemeanors: If convicted, simple misdemeanors are punishable by up to 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.
