Leesburg Criminal Charges

For the most part, the Code of Virginia is a unified code which is followed by all of the localities in the state.  There are some exceptions for local county codes, such as the Loudoun County Code or the Town Code of Leesburg, Purcellville, or other entities. The most common local ordinances have to with noise violations, outdoor activities, and licensing. However, local ordinances do not apply to misdemeanor and felony charges. A Leesburg Criminal Attorney has a firm understanding of offenses that fall under the criminal code and offenses that fall under local ordinances.

Felony and Misdemeanor Charges

A felony conviction equates to a loss of certain rights, mainly constitutional rights. These rights include the right to vote and the right to possess a firearm. In Virginia, there are six classes of felonies, Class 1 being the most serious and class 6 being the most similar to serious misdemeanors. A misdemeanor offense involves a less serious crime and usually includes a shorter jail sentence and/or smaller fines. Regardless of whether you are charged with a felony or misdemeanor, if you are convicted, you will be subjected to a criminal record.
