Orange County Misdemeanor Crime Defense Attorney

Though a misdemeanor cannot result in more than a year in county jail, there is no reason to treat these types of charges as if they are nothing. Misdemeanors may carry lesser sentences than felonies, but should be treated just as seriously in order to protect your rights and your future.

Irvine Misdemeanor Criminal Defense Lawyer

At The Law Firm of Kenneth L. Schreiber in Irvine, I confidently represent clients who are facing misdemeanor charges. I use over 35 years of experience as a criminal defense attorney when seeking a resolution to my clients' cases. My focus is on achieving clients' goals for the case, keeping punishments to a minimum whenever possible or seeking a dismissal of the charges all together. In many cases, I am able to work to get a felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor charge, resulting in a lesser punishment.

Many individuals may dismiss any misdemeanor citations they receive as unimportant. This is extremely dangerous, as it may put your future in jeopardy and a warrant may be issued for your arrest if you do not address the misdemeanor or show up in court when required.

Lesser Degrees of Serious Crimes

Misdemeanor crimes may seem less serious, but in reality they are just lesser degrees of extremely serious crimes. Theft, DUI, assault, and battery can all be considered misdemeanor offenses if the correct types of factors are present. It is still important to take these matters seriously, as they may end up having an impact on your future. Misdemeanor convictions can also add up and result in more serious charges if you are accused of a crime in the future. Your previous misdemeanors may have an impact on how the prosecution decides to pursue your case.

If you are facing misdemeanor charges, contact me today to further discuss how these cases should be handled. Do not dismiss them though they may seem minor. I also handle felony matters, including felony theft.
