Misdemeanors

Misdemeanors are punishable by less than a year’s time in county jail, probation, fines, community service, and other sentences deemed appropriate by a judge. In short, they are the lowest category of crime recognized in California

If you or your loved one has been charged with a misdemeanor crime in the Fresno area, contact the Fresno Criminal Attorney for a consultation regarding your case.

A misdemeanor crime could be a minor drug offense, shoplifting, theft, trespassing on private property, a first-time DUI offense, and much more. Even if you have never been in trouble with the law before and don’t think that your misdemeanor charge is significant, you should still contact the Fresno Criminal Attorney to discuss your case.

Our Fresno Criminal Lawyer Can Help You Avoid Serious Consequences

Many people are unaware of the potential consequences of a minor misdemeanor conviction for even “minor” crimes. A first time theft offense for instance, could dramatically affect where you will be able to find employment or go to school. Repeated misdemeanor offenses committed in the same category will be bumped up to a felony offense in the future.

Remember that a misdemeanor conviction will open up a criminal record. An experienced criminal defense attorney can oftentimes get a misdemeanor charge dismissed prior to or during a trial. You should contact the Fresno Criminal Attorney as soon as you are arrested or know that you are under investigation to contain the damage to your reputation.

If you are facing a misdemeanor charge, contact the law office of the Fresno Criminal Attorney today to begin your case.
