Misdemeanor Crimes
All Criminal Charges Are Serious — Even Misdemeanors
You may or may not be facing time in jail, but a misdemeanor conviction ripples through your life in other ways. A criminal record can cost you employment opportunities, loan eligibility or your driver's license. And pleading guilty sets you up for harsher punishment for any future arrests.
Southfield, Michigan criminal defense lawyer Heather Dorn can explain the potential consequences and fight to clear your name. She defends adults and juveniles in Oakland County, Wayne County, Macomb County and across the metro Detroit area. Contact her online or call 248.438.8716.
