Misdemeanor Crime Defense Attorney Legal Services

In the State of Florida there are two degrees of a misdemeanor crime:

• Second Degree Misdemeanor: punishable by up to a $500 fine, sixty (60) days jail and/or 6 months probation;

• First Degree Misdemeanor: punishable by up to a $1000 fine, twelve (12) months jail and/or probation.

While misdemeanor crime convictions do not carry punishments as severe as felony convictions, the potential for a misdemeanor conviction still has the potential to follow you for the rest of your life. In any situation that a background check is conducted or where you must divulge any criminal past, your conviction may play a role not being able to obtain some of your life goals. Some of the areas of your life that could be affected by a criminal history may include educational, housing, or employment opportunities.
