Misdemeanors

Misdemeanor offenses are generally considered less serious than felony offenses, although there may be significant repercussions if an individual is convicted, including jail time, probation, fines, a criminal record, and possible points added to your driving record if the incident is traffic-related.

Common misdemeanor convictions in Michigan include:

• Vandalism
• Assault
• Battery
• Retail Fraud/Shoplifting
• Prostitution
• Trespassing
• Unruly conduct
• Driving without a license
• Reckless driving
• 1^st and 2^nd OWI/DUI offenses
