Misdemeanors Attorney in Orlando

Protecting Your Freedom and Record

“Misdemeanor” is a legal term which, in the state of Florida, can relate to a wide array of criminal offenses. While less serious than felony charges, misdemeanors can still result in legal consequences leading to fines or imprisonment. A misdemeanor charge will stay on a person’s criminal record and could create difficulty in securing employment or accessing federal student loans. It is essential to secure the legal services of a competent Orlando misdemeanor attorney to avoid serious consequences if charged with a misdemeanor.

Misdemeanor Charges in Florida

Many who have been arrested for a misdemeanor wrongly believe that they are not facing serious charges and thus should not take their arrest that seriously. This is a myth, and any arrest or criminal accusation should be treated with urgency and attention to protect your rights, your future, and your freedom. In addition, multiple misdemeanor convictions can eventually lead to more serious penalties, as the convictions will remain on your record, no matter how serious your crime may have been.

In the State of Florida, there are two distinct misdemeanor classifications:

• First Degree Misdemeanors: First Degree Misdemeanors refer to the most severe form of this charge. Crimes of this nature are punishable by fines up to $1000 and or a jail sentence up to 1 year.
• Second Degree Misdemeanors: Second Degree Misdemeanors refer to a less severe form of this charge. Crimes of this nature are punishable by fines up to $500 and up to 6 months in jail.

How your misdemeanor will be classified depends on a number of factors, including the severity of the offense, potential victims, the value of the property said to have been damaged or stolen, the defendant’s past criminal history, the amount of drugs involved, the presence of a weapon, and much more. These issues can be nuanced, so it is vital you work with a lawyer who can get to the heart of your unique situation by analyzing the evidence against you and devising a strong defense solution that fights for your future.
