Serving Defendants Facing Misdemeanor Charges

Gavel and handcuffs - misdemeanors in California

All crimes are categorized according to the potential penalties that may be enforced upon a conviction. A misdemeanor is a crime that may be punishable by up to 12 months in county jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Additional penalties may be imposed, such as driver's license suspension, community service, mandatory counseling or rehabilitation and restitution. A misdemeanor is a lesser offense than a felony, which is the most serious type of crime a person may commit. Accordingly, for certain misdemeanor offenses the defendant may qualify for alternative sentencing to avoid jail time altogether.
