What's The Difference Between A Felony And A Misdemeanor? | Suffolk County Criminal Lawyer

In New York, crimes can be of several levels. We have felonies, we have misdemeanors, and we have violations. The difference typically is the type of crime and the amount of potential punishment that an individual is facing. With most misdemeanors, the potential punishment is going to be up to three hundred and sixty four days incarceration. With a felony, it could be anything above three hundred and sixty four days of incarceration up to potential lifetime incarceration.
