A Misdemeanor is an offense that is punishable by up to one year in the local or county jail. Penalties depend on the classification.
If the statute does not classify an offense, it will be treated as a Class C misdemeanor.
It is possible for the court to order a sentence of probation which will include certain restrictions and possibly community service.
A conviction for a misdemeanor goes on your permanent criminal record. You risk the loss of your freedom and a fine. Depending on the specific offense, you may still be at risk for losing a professional license, like for selling securities or real estate, or any career that has to do with money or finances. You need the assistance of qualified and experienced criminal defense attorneys.
