About Class E Felonies in Missouri
About Class E Felonies in Missouri
Class E felonies are a relatively recent addition to Missouri's criminal code, only created in 2017. Class E felonies are primarily non-violent crimes such as insurance fraud or tax evasion.
We take these charges as seriously as you do. Contact one of our St. Louis criminal defense attorneys now at (314) 900-HELP.
However, a number of violent crimes can be punished as class E felonies, including assault, stalking, and harassment. Persistent DWI offenders can also be subject to class E felony charges, as well.
Class E felony charges in St. Louis, MO are punishable by up to four years incarceration in a state prison or a fine of up to $10,000. It is important to note that Missouri class E felonies have no mandatory minimum sentence. However, they are still felonies, and if you are convicted of one your rights will be severely curtailed. You will not be allowed to own a gun, run for public office, or hold certain jobs, and your voting rights will be limited.
