Flint Misdemeanor Attorney

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.

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.
