A significant number of crimes are categorized as "misdemeanors" or designated by statute in "classes" carrying less severe punishments. Just because you are charged with a minor crime, you should not be fooled that it will go smoothly or that you will get off with a slap on the wrist. Just ask Senator Larry Craig and Paris Hilton!

ANY criminal conviction can have far-reaching implications. Punishments for drunk driving and mild sex offenses are becoming increasingly more severe due to grass-roots pressure and media glare on high-profile incidents.

The best way to defend against misdemeanor crimes is to intervene before charges are filed, if possible. Simple misunderstandings do occur, and most law enforcement personnel are reasonable and professional people. The right attorney with knowledge, contacts and an experienced "light touch" can actually resolve a case before it gets to any prosecutorial authority.

If charges are filed, a quick, hard strike against the prosecution is key. Misdemeanor crimes are typically handled by busy, overwhelmed "baby" prosecutors new to the courtroom. A seasoned defense attorney with a bag full of tried-and-tested strategics and a head full of legal knowledge is no match for a lawyer fresh out of school.
