Phoenix Criminal Defense Lawyer
Misdemeanors
A misdemeanor, although a lesser charge than a felony, may carry serious consequences that can affect future employment and educational opportunities and may result in fines, a criminal record, community service, counseling, and up to six months in jail. A misdemeanor conviction may also affect your driving privileges and security clearance, and committing certain misdemeanor offenses more than once or twice may result in felony charges and therefore enhanced penalties.
To challenge misdemeanor charges and have the best opportunity of avoiding the many negative consequences of a conviction of this kind, it is important to involve an experienced Phoenix criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. A misdemeanor defense attorney can make a difference by fighting for a diversion program to avoid imprisonment, or to negotiate a plea that reduces all potential penalties.
