Misdemeanors

Misdemeanors are highly punishable crimes under the law. If the accused is found guilty, they usually get sentenced to a short jail time of about 6 to 12 months, charged fines, and sometimes losing out on some of their privileges, like their driving privileges. Examples of such crimes are reckless driving, sex crimes, drug possession, fraud, assault, etc.

Individuals who are convicted of misdemeanors usually end up having a permanent criminal record if found guilty. Sometimes, the accused loses their case because they do not understand their rights, do not have enough facts, or lack a competent attorney to defend them.

The best way to avoid being convicted is by contacting a well-trained and experienced criminal defense lawyer dedicated to your case’s success. Your lawyer would help you defend your rights in the trial, make favorable decisions concerning your case, and seek reduced or dropped charges if necessary.
