Learning About Felony Crimes and Punishments

Hi there, my name is Rick Vandos. My website will explore all of the different types of felony crimes and their outcomes. Felonies are serious crimes that frequently carry harsh punishments. My brother was charged with a felony as a young adult due to poor choices he made, including injuring another party in a motor vehicle accident.

Thank you for your time.
