Mississippi divides offenses into felonies (more serious) and misdemeanors (less serious). No formal classification — each statute specifies its own range.

Frequently Asked Questions

I received a subpoena or target letter. What now?

Don't respond on your own. Contact a white collar lawyer before talking to investigators or producing documents.

Are white collar charges federal?

Many are, but states prosecute fraud and theft too. Your lawyer should have experience in the right court.

Should I talk to the police before I have a lawyer?

You have the right to stay silent and to ask for a lawyer. Politely say you want to speak with an attorney before answering questions.

How soon should I hire a criminal defense lawyer in MS?

As soon as you're charged or know you're being investigated. Early help can affect bail, evidence and whether charges are filed at all.

Can a criminal charge be dismissed?
