There are two types of misdemeanors. A first degree misdemeanor is punishable by up to a $1,000 fine and one year in jail. A second degree misdemeanor is punishable by 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. We are experienced in handling all misdemeanor cases and are able to recognize additional potential collateral consequences of a conviction, such as a driver's license suspension or immigration consequences. Our attorneys are focused and experienced, and understand the best strategies to defend against misdemeanor criminal charges.
