Statesboro Misdemeanor Defense Attorney

Aggressively Defending Clients in Bulloch County for Over Two Decades

Misdemeanors in Georgia are those offenses which result in less than a year of time served in jail. While they are less serious than felonies, they still can have a major impact on your life due to incarceration, fines, and other criminal penalties plus giving you a permanent criminal record. That record is accessible on a routine background check that future employers, landlords, educational institutions, or other agencies can use to deny your applications.

Georgia Misdemeanor Information

Examples of misdemeanors include DUI, shoplifting, possession of less than one ounce of marijuana, public intoxication, and more.

Misdemeanors carry penalties of:

  • Up to a year of incarceration or
  • A fine of up to $1,000 or
  • Both jail time and fines

They can also carry license suspensions, community service, probation, restitution, substance abuse counseling and programs, and more, depending on the nature of the offense.

In some instances, a misdemeanor in Georgia can be enhanced into what is called a “high and aggravated” misdemeanor crime. This generally occurs in cases of repeat offenses of the same crime over a certain period. For instance, a third DUI offense is no longer charged as a misdemeanor but an aggravated misdemeanor that carries more severe penalties.

Other examples of high and aggravated misdemeanors include fleeing a police officer, aggressive driving, and battery of a family member, a person over the age of 65, or a pregnant woman. High and aggravated misdemeanors carry heavier fines of up to $5,000.

Some misdemeanors can also affect the immigration status of non-citizens, such as those involving domestic violence.
