What Sets Our Felony Defense Apart

When you work with us, you deal directly with our attorneys. Your case doesn’t get handed to a paralegal or an intern. We take time to understand your specific circumstances, walk you through your options clearly, and involve you in the decisions that shape your defense.

Our investigation goes further than reviewing what the prosecution hands over. We enlist forensic professionals, lab technicians, and crime scene analysts to examine evidence independently. Forensic lab data, crime scene analytics, breath-test protocols, and incident reports all get scrutinized. We’ve secured dismissals in cases involving DUI, assault, and felony evasion charges, and that record reflects a deliberate approach to weakening the prosecution’s case at every available point.

Our Jackson office serves clients across Hinds, Madison, and Rankin Counties. That consistency has built real familiarity with local courts, judges, and prosecutors. Attorney Kevin D. Camp is a recognized presence in those courtrooms, and that standing has practical value when we’re negotiating or litigating on your behalf.

How Mississippi Defines a Felony

Mississippi classifies an offense as a felony when it carries a possible sentence of more than one year in the State Penitentiary. That threshold separates felonies from misdemeanors and determines which court handles the case. When no other statute sets a specific fine, Mississippi law allows an additional fine of up to $10,000 on top of imprisonment. Understanding your full sentencing exposure is one of the first things we establish with every client.

How a Felony Case Moves Through Mississippi Courts

Most felony charges in Mississippi come through a Grand Jury indictment. If a defendant waives indictment, the case can proceed on an Information instead. Either path leads to prosecution in Circuit Court, not the lower courts that handle misdemeanor matters. For clients in the Jackson area, that means Hinds County Circuit Court, where scheduling and procedural norms are part of the local knowledge we bring to every case.

From arraignment through bail and bond hearings, plea negotiation, and trial, each stage carries its own risks and opportunities. Moving quickly and strategically in the early stages often shapes what’s possible later.

Collateral Consequences Beyond the Sentence

A felony conviction in Mississippi doesn’t end when the sentence does. Voting rights can be affected. Employment opportunities narrow, and in licensed professions, a conviction can threaten eligibility altogether. These consequences extend far past the courtroom, and we factor them into the defense strategy from the start.

How We Build Your Defense

No two felony cases are the same, and we don’t treat them that way. Every defense strategy we develop is tailored to the client’s circumstances: the facts of the charge, the strength of the evidence, and what matters most to you as an outcome. We challenge incident reports, contest the admissibility and accuracy of evidence, and identify points where the prosecution’s case can be weakened.

We’re serious about giving clients a genuine second chance. That means pursuing dismissal when the facts support it, negotiating hard when a plea serves your interests, and preparing thoroughly for trial when that’s the right path.
