Defending People Charged with Misdemeanors
In California, a misdemeanor is a criminal offense carrying the possibility of jail time of less than one year and/or fines up to $1,000, not including penalties and assessments. Depending on the seriousness of the offense, the defendant’s prior record, and the extent of any injuries suffered by the victim, a misdemeanor can be elevated to a felony.
We handle the defense against all types of misdemeanor charges, including:
- Traffic offenses such as speeding, reckless driving, or operating a vehicle without insurance or a valid driver’s license
- Juvenile crimes, such as truancy or underage drinking
- Some DUI/DWI offenses, such as first-time DUI or DUI as a minor
- Petty theft, including shoplifting
- Disorderly conduct
- Trespassing
- Solicitation
Helping You Minimize the Penalties
Customarily, the penalties can include fines and penalties not exceeding $1,000 and/or jail time of less than one year. In some situations, we can reduce the amount of jail time or eliminate it altogether by securing probation.
