Misdemeanor Defense Lawyers in Newport Beach
Don’t Face Misdemeanor Charges Alone!
Generally speaking, a misdemeanor is a criminal offense punishable by no more than one year in county jail. This is a lesser offense than a felony, which is punishable by one or more years in state prison. Many crimes are “wobblers,” which means that they may be classified as misdemeanors or felonies depending specific factors that may enhance the severity of the offense. An example may be assault, which is a misdemeanor, but may be charged as a felony if a deadly weapon is used.
