Misdemeanors are crimes which are punishable by up to one year of jail.  The penalty may include fines, probation and community service.  While misdemeanors are considered less severe than felonies, they can still have a negative effect on your life, and will show up on background checks which may be done by prospective employers, banks or even landlords.  Misdemeanors usually will not result in the loss of rights but may result in the revocation of privileges such as professional licenses and public employment or office.  Crimes which are considered misdemeanors include but are not limited to the following:

• Underage drinking or possession of alcohol
• DUI offenses
• Possession of marijuana
