Defense of Misdemeanors in Bakersfield, California
Convictions for misdemeanors may not carry as strong penalties as felonies do. Nevertheless, convictions for misdemeanors can still carry jail time, as well as financial penalties. What's more, even misdemeanors remain on your criminal record — which can negatively affect your employment and educational choices.
If you have been arrested for a misdemeanor — like drug possession or misdemeanor DUI — you deserve legal advice from an experienced criminal defense lawyer. Your attorney will explain the proceedings against you and describe your various legal options — so that you can make an intelligent decision about how you want to proceed.
