DON'T TAKE A CHANCE WITH YOUR CRIMINAL RECORD

DEFEND YOURSELF AGAINST A MISDEMEANOR CRIMINAL CHARGE

Many people think of criminal offenses defined as misdemeanors in Virginia, Maryland or Massachusetts as something with minor ramifications. They are gravely mistaken. Although misdemeanors will usually result in lesser penalties than a felony, misdemeanors are criminal offenses in Virginia, Maryland & Massachusetts. Thus if you are convicted of a misdemeanor, you will have a criminal record. You may also be jailed for up to one year, face the potential of losing your job, losing your driver's license among other penalties. A lot of people in the United States don't realize that certain misdemeanors may be treated as an aggravated felony by the Bureau of Citizenship & Immigration Services (formerly known as the INS). Thus a conviction for a misdemeanor in Virginia, Maryland or Massachusetts may also result in deportation proceedings.
