Although a misdemeanor is typically punishable by up to 90 days imprisonment and a fine of up to $1,000, there are situations where the sentencing for a crime that is usually a misdemeanor will actually be equal to that of a felony. This occurs in situations where a defendant has prior convictions on his or her record. For example, assault may be a felony if the defendant has two or more prior convictions for assault. Theft of $200 to $500 may also be charged as a felony if the defendant has one or more prior theft convictions.
Ensuring you have a proper defense in the face of misdemeanor charges is of the utmost importance, whether you have a criminal record or this is your first arrest. With an experienced lawyer to present your case and defend your interests, you have the opportunity to seek a positive resolution that will help you avoid jail time and other penalties.
