Other Criminal Defense

An arrest for a crime may be either a misdemeanor or a felony. Misdemeanor crimes fall under four classes. Class 3 and Class 4 crimes are less serious and include things such as public intoxication and destruction of property, whereas Class 1 crimes are the most serious and includes some assault and battery charges. Felony crimes fall under six classes. Class 1 is the most serious, and includes murder.

Whether you have been arrested for a misdemeanor or felony crime, you should take the charge very seriously. Conviction of even a misdemeanor can have an impact on your life for many years, appearing on your record and making it more difficult to accomplish those things that are part of everyday life, such as finding employment. While many crimes fit only one category or the other, misdemeanor or felony, some crimes span both categories. These charges should be taken even more seriously, as charges can quickly escalate depending on the nature and circumstances of the crime.

Whether you have been arrested for a misdemeanor or felony, you need adequate representation to help you through the court process.
