Pennsylvania's Minimum-Maximum Sentencing Provisions

The Grading of your Criminal Offense is Important

When charged with a Criminal Offense, your crime is graded a certain way depending on the facts of the case and the statutory provisions. You should be aware of the grading for sentencing purposes. Also, the grading of a charge becomes particularly important during plea negotiations since some charges graded higher based on the Defendant's Criminal History, also known as the Prior Record Score.
