Misdemeanor Charge

Posted by kirbycoats on April 2, 2012

How serious is a misdemeanor charge?

Don’t let the name fool you; a misdemeanor can amount to serious consequences.

You can face harsh penalties and have a charge on your record that will stick with you for a long time, possibly even preventing you from getting a job. In the case of a gross misdemeanor such as simple assault, third degree theft, or a DUI, you can face a maximum sentence including jail time and thousands of dollars in fines.

If you find yourself charged with a misdemeanor it is imperative that you consult with and retain capable counsel or you will find yourself either pleading to a sentence far greater than what you should, or fighting a battle at trial you will most likely lose.

Beau Coats has been fighting misdemeanors and winning the battle at the negotiation table for almost two decades.
