Minnesota criminal defense attorney, Ryan Garry, on what a person should do if charged with a felony. He highlights that if an individual is charged with a felony, the first and most important step is to retain legal counsel. Felonies represent the most serious category of offenses, ranging from lower-level crimes such as theft over $5,000 to first-degree murder, which can result in life imprisonment. Because of the severity of these charges, he stresses the necessity of contacting an attorney immediately and, above all, never speaking to law enforcement without legal representation.
