San Antonio Felony Lawyer

Working to Avoid Imprisonment

Chapter 12 of the Texas Penal Code sets out the punishment ranges for felonies. A felony is a more serious crime than a misdemeanor. Examples of common felonies include possession of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, or any other drug than marijuana, dealing drugs, assault with a weapon or assault of a public servant, aggravated assault, sexual assault, evading arrest with a vehicle, robbery, burglary, intoxication manslaughter, DWI with a child passenger, theft valued $1,500 or more, and welfare and insurance fraud.

Penalties for Felony Conviction

A felony can have serious consequences. Upon a felony conviction, you can lose the right to vote, own a firearm, and can lose the ability to maintain certain occupational licenses. All of these penalties would occur after a lengthy prison sentence and a hefty fine. Some felonies, however, are relatively more manageable than others, depending on classification.

The classifications of felonies are as follows:

State Jail Felony

  • Maximum Fine of $10,000
  • 6 Months to 2 Years in a State Jail Facility or Probation

3rd Degree Felony

  • Maximum Fine of $10,000
  • 2 to 10 Years in the Texas Department of Corrections ("TDC") or Probation

2nd Degree Felony

  • Maximum Fine of $10,000
  • 2 to 20 Years in TDC or Probation

1st Degree Felony

  • Maximum Fine of $10,000
  • 5 to 99 Years in TDC or Probation

As you can see, a felony criminal charge is a serious business. Even if you are granted probation or deferred adjudication, the range of time for probation is two to ten years. You need an aggressive San Antonio criminal defense lawyer who will work hard to get the charges reduced to lesser misdemeanor charges or dismissed.

  • "I would highly recommend him if ever you need an attorney."
    I contacted Mr. Ambrosino about an issue we were having about two months ago. He was very responsive and always easy to communicate with. If ever I had a question during the process, he was quick to respond with an answer. He was kind enough to even email me while on vacation with his own family which showed he truly cares about his clients. Mr. Ambrosino took the time to educate me on the current laws and the court process. He sent me all the court filings and paperwork for my own files and always kept me up to date. In the end we received the outcome we were hoping for and I attribute that to Mr. Ambrosino’s hard work and knowledge. I would highly recommend him if ever you need an attorney. Thank you for your help Mr. Ambrosino.

  • "Mr. Roberto Ambrosino is an amazing lawyer!!!"
    Mr. Roberto Ambrosino is an amazing lawyer!!! I can not speak highly enough he is quick, efficient, and professional! I did everything online, through mail, and the phone. He kept in touch about every aspect of my case. After I sent documents and made a payment he approached the judge soon after and my case was closed. I am extremely pleased with his services. I highly recommend him. Now a few years later I reached out to him again regarding obtaining documents and again he is very communicative and on top of everything. I am a very satisfied customer.

  • "Mr. Ambrosino is a true professional. He truly delivers on his word."
    Mr. Ambrosino is a true professional. He truly delivers on his word. When the prosecutor pushed back to prevent my acceptance into the PreTrial Diversions Program, Mr. Ambrosino fought back and earned my acceptance into PTD. Once I am done with PTD, he will be expunging my charge so that my record is clean for graduate school. Thank you Mr. Ambrosino.

    Mr. Ambrosino is an amazing lawyer. He is very matter of fact and to the point. He was able to get my case dismissed when all other lawyers told me that it would be impossible. I never felt like he gave me the run around with my case. He was always available to answer any questions I had. I would definitely hire him again.
