Fighting the Penalties of a Misdemeanor Conviction

Without strong legal representation, a misdemeanor charge could get aggravated to a felony offense, or you might have to undergo the full sentencing available under Ohio law. Make sure you get time and a proven advocate like Attorney Zushin on your side to combat the penalties listed below.

We can help build a strong defense to get your case dismissed or reduced to avoid the following penalties:

• Fourth-degree misdemeanors. This can include offenses such as possession of drug paraphernalia and public indecency charges and lead to a fine of $250 and 30 days in jail.
• Third-degree misdemeanors. This could include offenses such as negligent assault and loitering charges. This could spell out a sentence of a fine of $500 and 60 days in jail.
• Second-degree misdemeanors. Covering charges such as theft, resisting arrest, a conviction could yield a $750 fine and a 90-day jail sentence.
• First-degree misdemeanors. More serious charges, such as drunk driving, assault, and domestic violence, could lead to getting fined $1,000 and spending 180 days in jail.
