Misdemeanor Attorney Houston, TX
Facing Charges for a Misdemeanor Crime in Harris County?
Generally speaking, a misdemeanor is a criminal offense punishable by up to 1 year in county jail. This is a less serious offense than a felony, which is typically punishable by at least 1 year in state prison. Although misdemeanors may be "less serious" than felonies, they can carry lasting consequences that affect virtually all areas of one's life.
