Misdemeanor offenses are less serious than felony offenses and carry less severe consequences.  Misdemeanor convictions can result in jail time and fines, so it is important to retain a Tucson Criminal Defense Attorney.  We will negotiate with the prosecutor and sometimes an arrangement can be worked out in which you will be allowed to attend a class, perform community service, and/or pay a fine instead of going to trial and possibly going to jail.  When an arrangement cannot be worked out then a Tucson Criminal Defense Attorney will handle your misdemeanor trial.  When you are charged with a misdemeanor it is important to retain an aggressive Tucson Criminal Defense Attorney who will fight for you.  Misdemeanor offenses include the following:
