Misdemeanors
Generally speaking, a misdemeanor is a crime punishable by a fine and carries a maximum penalty of a year in the county jail. Though misdemeanors are far less serious than felonies in terms of the maximum possible penalties, a misdemeanor conviction can significantly limit your employment opportunities or, in certain instances, result in a denial of a professional license in some fields.

Misdemeanors
One of the most common misdemeanor charges is OWI/DWI (Operating While
Intoxicated/Driving Under the Influence). Other examples of misdemeanors include
domestic violence, assault and battery, pandering (soliciting a prostitute), indecent
exposure, or possession of a very small amount of drugs. If you have been charged
with one of these offenses, it is important to contact experienced and
knowledgeable professionals that specialize in criminal proceedings.
