Misdemeanor Charges & Penalties
Have you or a loved one been charged with a misdemeanor? Many people mistakenly believe that misdemeanor charges aren’t really serious, since they are less severe than felonies. However, Maryland law does not classify misdemeanors into separate categories and has higher penalties for misdemeanor offenses than many other states, so get in touch with an experienced defense attorney immediately, if you have been charged with any crime.
Our firm represents clients charged with misdemeanors, such as:
- Assault in the second degree
- Possession of marijuana
- Stalking
- Harassment
- Carrying a concealed dangerous weapon
- Theft of property valued at less than $1,000
- Reckless driving
- Driving under the influence
The penalties for misdemeanors can vary widely, depending on the specific charges and the circumstances of the case. For example, a jail or prison sentence can range from less than 90 days to up to 10 years in prison. Fines can range from $500 to $5,000. In addition, you will have a record that can impact your future and affect your ability to apply for student aid, secure a professional license, get accepted to college, find a job, or a place to live.
