Misdemeanor Offenses

If you are searching for a Vero Beach, Fort Pierce or Stuart criminal defense lawyer, please contact Attorney Christopher J. Jacobs for a free, no-obligation consultation.

Misdemeanors are less serious than felony charges, but they are all punishable by incarceration in the county jail.  In many cases, Attorney Christopher Jacobs is able to negotiate a result that does not involve a conviction and may be able to get your charges dismissed.  It may also be possible for you to avoid having to go to court if you reside out of the area.  Do not make the mistake of thinking the judge and prosecutor are on your side.  They are NOT, and misdemeanors can have very serious consequences!

Potential Misdemeanor Penalties

First Degree Misdemeanor: Punishable by up to 1 year in the county jail, 1 year probation and a $1,000 fine.

Second Degree Misdemeanor: Punishable by up to 60 days in the county jail, 6 months probation and a $500.00 fine.
