Do I Need A Lawyer for a Misdemeanor Charge?

Many people believe being charged with a misdemeanor isn't a big deal and attempt to handle the cases themselves. This can be a mistake because more and more offenses have minimum sentences which include jail time, and courts are frequently giving convictions to people who do not deserve such punishment. Both of these things can mark your criminal record permanently even though the case was a low class misdemeanor.

As your criminal defense attorneys we know alternatives to jail and other minimum sentences. Aggressive trial preparation often leads to cases being dismissed or end with prosecutions being diverted. Sometimes solutions involving reduced charges are needed and a lawyer is required to know differences between charges. In most cases our clients are able to remove misdemeanor arrests entirely from their record.
