Misdemeanor Criminal Defense

Misdemeanors: Misdemeanors are lesser crimes that can be punished by a county jail sentence, probation, or a fine. Drunk driving, simple battery, most domestic violence cases, under the influence of drugs, disturbing the peace, some child abuse and neglect matters, and petty theft are all fairly common misdemeanors.

What I can do to help you is very much dependent on the facts of your case. Even though misdemeanors were originally designed to keep the public peace, modern databases that are used by potential employers make it important to keep your record clean. After conviction of a misdemeanor, if you successfully complete probation without any further convictions, you have a right to a record clearance. This does not mean that your file is purged from the courthouse. Instead, the last entry would show that your conviction has been set aside based upon subsequent good conduct.
