Misdemeanors
If you have been charged with a misdemeanor level crime such as shoplifting, underage possession or consumption of drugs or alcohol, misdemeanor DUI, or misdemeanor Hit & Run, we can help with your defense. Hit and runs are prosecuted as misdemeanors when minor traffic accidents occur without physical injuries.
Simple battery is a misdemeanor though certain simple battery offenses are rated as misdemeanors of a high and aggravated nature, for example, when it involves a person 65 years or older, a pregnant woman, or family violence.
