Misdemeanor Crimes in Kansas

While misdemeanor crimes are less serious than felony crimes in terms of the act itself and the potential penalties, a misdemeanor conviction can still carry significant consequences. If you are convicted, penalties could include up to one year in jail and heavy fines, amongst other consequences. If you are facing misdemeanor charges, an Olathe criminal defense lawyer from the Martin Law Group, LLC could review your case and advise you as to your best legal options.

Some crimes may be considered either misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the circumstances. If aggravating factors exists, charges could be increased, but a competent defense attorney can take steps to have the charges reduced to a lesser offense. This is particularly important when it comes to saving you from a felony charge, as felonies carry penalties beyond those issued for the crime itself. Certain civil liberties could be cancelled, which could affect your ability to gain employment, housing or a bank loan, along with other adverse effects.
