Misdemeanor and felony offenses encompass a wide range of crimes and occur under varying circumstances. The primary differences between the classes are the potential penalties. Generally, misdemeanors are punished by 90 days in jail and a fine, while felony punishments require a minimum of 1 year in jail and greater fines.

More than just your personal freedom, your reputation and standing in the community are in jeopardy. With employers conducting thorough background checks before making new hires, you may be unable to get a job if a misdemeanor conviction is on your record.
