Missouri has three categories of misdemeanors, with the most serious being Class A and the lowest level being Class C. Crimes categorized as misdemeanors can vary widely, including everything from third-degree assault (a Class A misdemeanor) to first-degree trespassing (Class B) or a first offense for driving with excessive blood alcohol content (Class C).

When it comes to finding legal representation for a misdemeanor charge, it’s important to remember that just because the State classifies the charge as “minor” doesn’t mean it will have a minor effect on your life.

There’s a lot at stake in a misdemeanor case, and this is a situation where you can’t afford not to have good, effective legal representation. Penalties for misdemeanors can still carry as much as a year of jail time and fines as high as $1000. And that’s just the legal consequences. A misdemeanor conviction can also have a serious effect on your professional life and future.
