It doesnt matter how much money.  Forgery is forgery and it is a felony.  Felony= jail time.  Unless you get lucky and get probabtion.  Get a good lawyer.

A class C or 3rd degree felony means they can recieve 2-10 years in prison. More likely though, especially if this is a first offense, they will get probation from 2-10 years.

you dont, unless you can bargain real well with a lawyer, other than that i suggest stop drinking, or stop driving after you've been drinking...as far as i know a 3rd offense is a felony and felonies are punishable with a minimum of 1 year in prison

#2 is way friggin better than #1, I would rather see a person in the #1 category get all the #2 rewards for their hard work, life would be great if everybody was able to get a great career job without the strength of a college degree, My goodness I hate college!!!!

Each state may have a slight variation of this. In Colorado, the first degree is the most serious, but in some states it is the opposite.\n\n1st degree usually involves injuries or weapons or threats\n2nd degree is force only\n3rd degree is usually just grabbing or molesting, no penetration

It depends on the what the statute states.  It could mean 3 violent felonies or just 3 felonies.  It could have time restrictions also; 3 felonies in 3 years.  Or other restrictions like 3 felony convictions vice 3 felony counts.  The statutes are different from state to state.  And yes, on the third conviction you go away for a long time, but once again this varies between the states.  It could be life or it could be 20 years.

I attended a graduation in Michigan this past December and saw a couple of grads with two stoles. Obviously the first issue is what rules CSU posts on thier commencement website (if they do such a thing). But if nothing is mentioned, it's up to you. However, nobody outside of your two affiliations will even know what your stoles mean. And, imho, my own reaction is that anything besides the standard issue stoles contributes to the diminishing of their value in honoring exceptional achievement.

Don't worry about your felony- you were a kid! I personally know an attorney who spent 20 years in prison for MURDER. Any worthwhile profession (law, medicine, accounting) has state run boards that take into account MANY factors when issuing state licenses- for example: the circumstances of the crime- did you steal a loaf of bread becasue you were hungry, did you get a felony assault during a self-defense kind of situation, etc.; your track record- did you stay out of trouble since you were convicted; your academic performance in college; your community service; military; other accomplishments- sports, charity, etc. \n\nDO NOT LET SOME SILLY THING LIKE A LITTLE FELONY MAKE YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN'T DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH YOUR LIFE. I AM AN ATTORNEY AND BELIEVE ME, THE LEGAL PROFESSION CHECKS PEOPLE OUT WITH HELP FROM THE FBI AND DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. THEY LET PEOPLE IN ALL THE TIME WHO HAVE A LOT WORSE THINGS THAN YOU DO. AM I SAYING THEY WON'T LOOK AT IT? NO! THEY WILL, BUT IT IS WEIGHED AGAINST MANY, MANY OTHER FACTORS- THE REST IS UP TO YOU. \n\nCertain jobs may be more challenging, by the way: Rule of thumb: The more "blue collar" the job, the harder it will be for you to get.  But who cares? Do you really want to get a job that an uneducated person can get?  Do yourself a favor and get an education and THEN find yourself a real job.  In the meantime all kinds of time will pass and your little mishap will be in the past.\n\nHope this helps!

In general, an aggravated version of a crime is more serious. That can be for several different reasons, and they would depend on the state.

Not nearly enough will happen to him, sadly. I'm sorry for what happened to you, but 4th degree will land him in a juvenile detention facility, hopefully till he's 18, then after that? He'll probably walk, with a clean record. It's up to you to follow the case, and speak at his probation hearing. Good luck.

All felonies are judged by degrees.\n\nFor instance: a Class F felony.\n\nHow old were you when you were convicted of this crime?

Alright, According to the attached website, aggravated robbery is a class 3 felony. Presumptive minimum is 4 years, presumptive maximum is 12 years. Check out the site it will give you a lot of good information. You will want to look up the laws concerning Federal sentencing guidelines, and what would cause a case of armed robbery to be bumped up to the federal level. I hope this helps.

joining the service may help if it's not too serious (my exp.). And I believe you could petition the judge, again on the severity of the crime, and usually it would probably be your first, and last brainless crime.
