Understanding Florida Felony Charges
In Florida, felonies are categorized into five main classifications based on the severity of the alleged crime. These categories are:
- Capital felonies
- Life felonies
- First-degree felonies
- Second-degree felonies
- Third-degree felonies.
Each category carries its own penalties, but all of them could mean prison time, fines, and a criminal record.
Capital Felonies
The most serious of crimes are capital felonies, which typically involve someone’s death or severe harm. Being accused of murder, capital drug trafficking, or armed kidnapping can result in a capital charge. You could be sentenced to death or to life in prison with no possibility of parole.
Life Felonies
Life felonies are second in severity and could involve charges of sexual battery and murder. Typically, life felonies result in life imprisonment as well as fines that could be as high as $15,000.
First-Degree Felonies
First-degree felonies in Florida include drug trafficking, aggravated assault or battery, some types of grand theft, arson, and embezzlement. An experienced felony lawyer in Florida may help clients avoid the maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and fines of $10,000.
Second-Degree Felonies
Second-degree felonies include manslaughter, possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute, grand theft, possibly burglary, identity theft, and DUI manslaughter. If convicted, you could face up to 15 years in prison and fines of up to $10,000.
Third-Degree Felonies
You can be charged with a third-degree felony if you’re accused of grand theft, burglary, identity theft, possession of child pornography, or resisting arrest with violence. The penalties for third-degree felonies include up to five years in prison and $5,000 in fines.

What are some common defense strategies for felonies?
The exact defense that your Florida criminal defense attorney offers will depend on your case’s unique circumstances. Some common defense strategies involve showing that you have an alibi for when the crime was allegedly committed, challenging the prosecution’s evidence, proving a lack of intent, or demonstrating that you were under duress.
What are the most serious charges you can face in Florida?
Capital felony charges are the most serious you can face. These usually occur in connection with a murder, whether first-degree murder or a death that occurred while in the commission of another felony, such as armed robbery. Certain drug trafficking offenses and kidnappings could also be capital felonies if there are aggravating factors.
What penalties can I face if I’m convicted of a felony in Florida?
All felonies carry a prison sentence as well as fines. Capital felonies put you at risk of the death penalty or life in prison, while less severe charges, like third-degree felonies, could leave you with five years in prison. Additionally, you would have a criminal record.
Can I defend myself if I’ve been charged with a felony?
It’s never a good idea to represent yourself in any legal proceeding but it’s especially dangerous to do so when the potential penalties are so high. Hire an experienced felony attorney in Florida to protect your rights.
