Major Crimes

Misdemeanors

A misdemeanor can carry significant consequences and must be taken seriously. Many misdemeanors can carry lasting and often lifelong consequences, such as the requirement to register as a sex offender or a narcotics user. These convictions can cost you more than just your freedom; you could lose your job or license, or even have difficulty finding a place to live. An experienced Criminal Defense Attorney like Ms. Sullivan can ensure you take every step to protect yourself.
