What's the difference between a Felony and Misdemeanor?
People often want to know the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor. In Florida, and in most states, a felony is a crime with a potential penalty of a year or more in the State Prison. A misdemeanor has a potential penalty of a year or less in a county jail. With a felony you lose certain civil rights such as right to vote, hold public office or possess firearms. A felony is much more serious and handicaps many people in employment opportunities.

Florida has very tough drunk driving laws. If you have been arrested for DUI, DWI, BUI (boating under the influence), you need an experienced attorney who will provide a vigorous defense on your behalf.
The experienced criminal defense attorneys at The Wilbur Smith Law Firm handle all drinking and driving charges, including:
Driving while intoxicated (DWI)

Driving under the influence (DUI)
Boating under the influence (BUI)
We also represent clients arrested for driving under the influence of illegal drugs (e.g. marijuana, narcotics) or prescription drugs (e.g. sleeping pills). If you have been charged with drunk driving or another serious traffic crime we can help. To speak with an attorney at our Fort Myers law office, call (239) 334-7696 or 1-888-865-7054.
Protecting Your Record, Freedom and License
There are two distinct aspects to every drunk driving case. First there is the criminal side that carries the possibility of a criminal conviction, jail time and probation. Second, there is the civil or administrative side that involves your driver’s license.
Our attorneys handle both the criminal and civil side of drunk driving cases. We aggressively protect your record, your freedom and your driving privileges.

What is Criminal Law?
Criminal Law is the branch of law dealing with crimes and their prosecution.
Criminal law starts with an arrest or charge for violating a specific criminal law. Federal crimes are statutory. Most state laws are also statutory. Criminal statutes classify crimes as felonies or misdemeanors. Felonies are generally punishable by death or imprisonment for more than one year. Other crimes are misdemeanors. State laws often provide subcategories for each of these to further define the seriousness of the offense.
As such, a criminal violation only occurs when someone acts (or fails to act) in some way that is specifically spelled out in a criminal statute. Once the police have a belief that the necessary act has been committed, the actor can be detained for further investigation or arrested or charged with the crime.
Once charged, the criminal defendant is afforded one or more court hearings. This may include an arraignment, various pre-trial hearings, and a trial. Most criminal cases are resolved out of court through the plea bargain process.
The sentence may involve any number of punishments. This may include court-ordered rehabilitation or training, probation, incarceration in jail or prison, and even death. Sentences to incarceration in prison may be reduced by the state authorities. This often results in the criminal being released into the community under the supervision of a parole or probation officer.
