Felonies and Misdemeanors
Former state prosecutor turned criminal defense lawyer
The difference between a misdemeanor and a felony involves the seriousness of the offense. Misdemeanors usually involve less significant infractions, such as minor traffic violations and disturbing the peace. Felonies involve acts that significantly harm others, such as murder, robbery, and the sale of drugs.
You may not need legal representation for minor offenses like parking tickets or jaywalking, but you definitely need an attorney if you are charged or being investigated for felony crimes. Daniel A. Lyons & Associates has defended over a thousand criminal cases. We can help protect your rights, no matter how serious the charge.
Prior to opening his practice, Dan Lyons spent seven years as a state prosecutor fighting crime in the courts. He gained valuable experience that now benefits clients charged with felonies and misdemeanors in Connecticut.
