Misdemeanors PDF Print E-mail

Misdemeanor offenses are those offenses for which a conviction may result in one year or less of jail time and $1000 or less in fines. Misdemeanors are considered less serious offenses than felonies.  The penalty for a misdemeanor conviction can range from very minor (i.e., no jail time, no fine) to more severe (one year in jail, large fines and community service).

Examples of misdemeanor offenses include, but are not limited to, non-injury DUI’s, first time theft offenses like shoplifting, some domestic violence charges, driving on a suspended license and much more.


Sometimes, based upon a person’s criminal record or the severity of the offense, the District Attorney can amend (i.e., change) a misdemeanor charge to a felony, making the potential consequences of a conviction much more serious. On the other hand, sometimes a misdemeanor charge can be dismissed altogether or reduced to an infraction, which avoids a criminal conviction. That is why it is important to hire an experienced and knowledgeable criminal defense attorney like Ann Gottesman to assist you with fighting the charges.

If you have been charged with a misdemeanor, it is imperative that you contact an attorney immediately. Call criminal defense attorney Ann Gottesman so she can begin helping you with your case.
