Five (5) Categories of Felonies

There are five (5) felony categories in the Nevada Court System when sentencing someone on felony charges. If you are charged with any of the following Felony Charges, you will absolutely need an attorney and a bail bonds company. These charges are serious and you will need the best professional help and advice to maneuver through the court system.

Usually, most Judges will set higher bail requirements for felony charges, so the defendant will need stronger collateral and an excellent co-signer with resources.

Category A Felony

Category A felonies contain the most severe punishments because they are the most serious felonies. Typically, a defendant will receive life in prison or a death sentence if they are charged with a category A felony. Category A felonies include:

• First-degree murder: Life in prison without parole, prison for life or 50 years, with the possibility to serve on parole after 20 years, or the death sentence.
