These felonies are all stackable and can carry several years in prison, fines and so you need to find out from your attorney what level felonies these are, if you have had previous convictions and whether or not you qualify for any sort of delayed or alternative conviction programs. These are serious violations but a good criminal defense attorney might be able to have the charges lowered or plea them down by working with the prosecutor's office.
