Misdemeanor Crimes Attorney & Lawyer

Misdemeanor Crimes

The term misdemeanor, sometimes referred to as a minor crime, refers to a criminal offense which is of a less serious nature than that of a felony crime, and punishable by fine or imprisonment in a city or county jail rather than in a penitentiary. Misdemeanor crimes typically involve those committed against individuals (of a non-violent nature), are deemed disruptive to the public order, involve certain types of theft, or other crimes against society.


Do not let the perception of a misdemeanor crime being a minor crime. Any criminal offense may directly impact your life in many ways if convicted. Any aspect of your life in which you must divulge the existence of a prior criminal history may be affected. This may commonly include employment opportunities, housing issues, and educational opportunities, just to name a few.
