Felony Defense in North Carolina

A felony charge in North Carolina carries severe consequences, including long-term imprisonment, heavy fines, and a permanent criminal record. Whether you're facing allegations of drug crimes, assault, theft, or other serious offenses, you need a skilled criminal defense attorney to fight for your rights. At DELAMBERT STONE, we understand the stakes and provide relentless defense strategies to protect your freedom.

In North Carolina, crimes are classified as misdemeanors or felonies, with felonies being the most serious offenses. Felony convictions can lead to prison time, loss of civil rights, and lifelong consequences.

Felonies are categorized into different classes (A to I) based on their severity:

• Class A: First-degree murder (life in prison or death penalty);

• Class B1/B2: Violent offenses like rape or armed robbery (up to life in prison);

• Class C: Crimes like kidnapping and aggravated assault (up to 44 years in prison);

• Class D: Voluntary manslaughter and violent drug crimes (up to 17 years in prison); and

• Class E - I: Crimes like drug possession with intent, larceny, and fraud (months to years in prison).

A felony conviction can permanently impact your life, affecting employment, housing, and even firearm rights.

Because felony convictions cannot be easily expunged, it is critical to fight your charges aggressively from the start.

Our team at DELAMBERT STONE will analyze every aspect of your case to develop the strongest defense strategy possible. This may include:

Our attorneys work tirelessly to secure the best possible outcome, whether that means dismissal, reduced charges, or an acquittal at trial.
