Elgin, IL Criminal Misdemeanors Attorney
Aggressive Criminal Misdemeanor Defense Lawyer in Kane County
A misdemeanor is not as serious as a felony, but it can still be costly in several areas of your life. Misdemeanors are divided into three classes. Here is a breakdown of each class and the penalties a conviction may carry:
- Class C Misdemeanors: Fines of up to $1,500 and up to 30 days in county jail.
- Class B Misdemeanors: Fines of up to $1,500 and up to 60 days in county jail.
- Class A Misdemeanors: Fines of up to $2,500 and up to one year in county jail.
In addition to the penalties listed above, a misdemeanor can remain on your record indefinitely. This can create difficulty in obtaining jobs, housing, loans, and school admission.
