Free ConsultationGeorgia misdemeanors can carry jail time, fines, probation, and consequences for work, school, licensing, insurance, and reputation. Early legal guidance can help protect both the case and the record.
A misdemeanor can generally carry up to 12 months in jail and a fine, while a high and aggravated misdemeanor may carry a higher fine. The exact exposure and likely outcome depend on the offense and facts.
Cases may include simple assault, family-violence allegations, theft, underage alcohol possession, reckless driving, hit and run, suspended-license allegations, and other traffic offenses.
The defense should consider employment, professional licensing, immigration questions, school, insurance, driving privileges, and record consequences. Matt gives clients a clear view of tradeoffs before decisions are made.
