Overland Park Misdemeanor Crime Attorney
Misdemeanor Crimes: Possession, Theft Crimes and Others
Criminal offenses are categorized as either misdemeanors or felonies. Felonies are more serious offenses and will lead to much harsher penalties, with time to be served in state prison. This doesn't mean that a misdemeanor should be treated lightly. Misdemeanor convictions still go on your criminal record and can cause a number of inconveniences and difficulties in your life, and can lead to up to 12 months in jail. If you have been arrested and charged with a misdemeanor it is not a good idea to simply plead guilty without first consulting a respected Overland Park criminal defense attorney who can fully explain the legal situation, the consequences you face and the options which are open to you.
