Los Angeles Misdemeanor Defense Attorneys
Southern California Misdemeanors Criminal Defense Lawyer
In California, a misdemeanor, is a "lesser" criminal act. Misdemeanors are generally punished less severely than felonies; such as no more than up to one year in county jail.
In California, examples of misdemeanors may include the following: petty theft, prostitution, public intoxication, simple assault, disorderly conduct, trespass, vandalism, and other similar crimes. In general, misdemeanors are crimes with a maximum punishment of 12 months or less of incarceration, typically in a local or county jail. This is to be contrasted with felons, who are typically incarcerated in a prison. Those people who are convicted of misdemeanors are often punished with probation, community service or part-time imprisonment, served on the weekends.
