Have You Been Arrested?
In New York, a misdemeanor is considered any offense that carries the potential penalty of less than one year. Crimes that carry penalties of higher than one year are generally classified as felonies.
It is important to remember that a misdemeanor conviction will have a number of adverse consequences:
- It may show up on a background check
- It may prevent you from getting a job
- It establishes a criminal record, which may heighten the penalties of a subsequent conviction
- If you already have a criminal record, the penalties for a misdemeanor offense can be heightened significantly
Our attorneys understand that the criminal justice system can be a cold, forbidding place. We will do everything we can to make this process straightforward and comfortable for you, and to keep you from having a black mark on your criminal record.
