Gwinnett, Lawrenceville, DUI, Criminal Attorney

A misdemeanor offense is punishable by up to 12 months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. With permission from the Court, all or some of the 12 month sentence may be served on probation. A probated sentence is often accompanied by other special conditions such as fines, community service, probation fees, and other conditions ordered by the Court.

In many instances, the punishment for a misdemeanor conviction is not as severe as with a felony conviction. Unfortunately, a misdemeanor conviction can still have a substantial impact on employment, immigration status, and even your ability to drive.

A typical misdemeanor case takes approximately six months to get resolved. Factors such as availability of witnesses, the crime charged, and the number of cases on the docket can affect the progression of your case.
