<br />One of the most frequent questions asked regarding misdemeanor charges is, "do I need a misdemeanor lawyer if I have been charged?" The answer is a resounding, yes. Even if you are innocent you still need a lawyer as your rights need to be protected.<br /><br />Misdemeanors are more serious than infractions, and less serious than felonies. Misdemeanor convictions carry a punishment of less than one year in jail and fines of up to one thousand. <br /><br />Misdemeanors are considered:<br /><br /><ul><li>Trespassing</li><li>Probation violations</li><li>Domestic violence</li><li>Reckless driving</li><li>Driving without a license</li><li>Gambling</li><li>Driving while intoxicated - DUI/DWI</li><li>Disorderly conduct</li><li>Soliciting prostitutes</li><li>Violating restraining orders</li><li>Assault and battery that results in minimum or no injury</li></ul><br />Misdemeanor charges can be elevated to felony charges if the prosecutor alleges a prior or similar act. This includes the possibility of increased jail time and a sentence in state prison. A few examples of these offenses are:<br /><br /><ul><li>Domestic violence</li><li>Indecent exposure</li><li>Violation of a domestic violence order</li><li>Petty theft</li><li>Drunk driving with 3 priors on record occurring in a 10 year period</li><li>Loaded firearm in a public venue</li></ul><br /><br />It is never a good idea to fight any criminal charge on your own, misdemeanor or not. An experienced misdemeanor lawyer or <a href="/felony-attorney" title="Felony Attorney">felony attorney</a> (if the charge is being elevated) is critical to a successful outcome. It isn't just the charge you are fighting, it's your future.
