Misdemeanors are usually charged by a written complaint or “information” (formal charges without a grand jury). Typically the complaint is mailed to the accused by the prosecutor’s office requesting their presence in court at a specified date.
While misdemeanor charges may be considered minor, being accused and/or convicted can have devastating lifelong effects.
Misdemeanor examples include:
- DUI (driving under the influence)/DWI (driving while intoxicated): 1st , 2nd, or 3rd
- offense, no injuries
- Trespass
- Petty Theft/Shoplifting
- Disorderly Conduct
- Obscene Matter
- Probation Violations
- Unlicensed Driver
- Gambling
- Solicitation of Prostitution
- Violation of Restraining Orders
- Reckless Driving
- Assault and Battery (no or minimum injury)
- Domestic Violence
