** Notes:

Please note that the above sentencing ranges are meant as a general guideline.  It is important to remember that every case is different and these differences may or may not affect potential sentencing ranges.  For example, a client charged with a Class 2 Felony might be facing a mandatory Class X sentence because of his/her background.  Also, clients may face extended term sentences which basically double the maximum amount of jail time as a result of their background.  Finally, the amount of time required to be served also varies depending on the circumstances.  Some cases carry 50% sentences, while others carry 75%, 85% and even 100% sentences.
