Misdemeanor Cases
Have you been charged with a misdemeanor?
A misdemeanor is any charge that carries a possible jail term of 12 months or less.
Misdemeanor categories generally range from the least severe, a Class 4 misdemeanor, that carries a maximum $250.00 fine to a Class 1 misdemeanor that carries a possible 12 month jail sentence.
There are also unclassified misdemeanors that fall somewhere in the middle or that have a unique punishment that only applies to a particular charge.
COLLATERAL CONSEQUENCES OF MISDEMEANORS:
Just as in felony convictions, there can be a number of collateral
consequences for misdemeanor convictions. Although a misdemeanor conviction does not result in the loss of the right to vote, a misdemeanor can result in the suspension of a person's drivers license, the loss of the right to possess and carry a firearm, probation or good behavior. Depending on the type of misdemeanor, it could result in loss of employment. It only takes 1 or 2 DUIs (both misdemeanors) to cause a person to be separated from the armed forces. Very often an employer, especially those in the delivery business, will terminate a person with only one traffic misdemeanor, especially a DUI.
