Maryland Misdemeanor Attorneys
Facing Misdemeanor Charges? Know Your Rights.
In the state of Maryland, there are two major classifications for crimes: misdemeanors and felonies. If you are charged with a misdemeanor, it’s important you consult and partner with an experienced misdemeanor criminal defense lawyer in Maryland right away. While a misdemeanor may seem like a lesser classification than a felony, it is still an extremely serious offense with life-altering consequences.

Why Seek a Criminal Defense for a Misdemeanor Charge?
While a misdemeanor may sound like it’s not that serious when compared to a felony, it holds penalties and consequences which can change your life. Unlike other states, the state of Maryland does not hold a maximum fine for misdemeanors; this means you could see serious jail time or fines for your charges. For this reason, you most certainly want to seek out a skilled and experienced misdemeanor criminal defense lawyer who can dedicate themselves to your case.
Several Kinds of Misdemeanors
In the state of Maryland, there are several types of misdemeanors. The lesser, called a petty misdemeanor, can usually be offset by attending a rehabilitation program or community service. The importance is knowing what to do before and during trial to obtain these favorable results. On the other end of the spectrum, a gross misdemeanor borders a felony and depending on the prosecution could be charged as such. It’s important you partner with a criminal defense lawyer in Maryland who has the experience to handle your case if it escalates to a felony charge, but can also help ensure that doesn’t happen.
