Collin County Misdemeanor Lawyer

If you or a loved one is charged with a misdemeanor offense, there are many variables to consider when facing these charges. While the range of punishment on these cases is typically jail time in the county jail and a fine or a probation term with multiple conditions to complete, a misdemeanor offense can also carry with it a variety of life-long consequences. The long-term consequences can affect your rights to carry a firearm or the ability of the prosecution to enhance future, similar charges. At The Collin County Law Group, a Collin County misdemeanor lawyer is familiar with these consequences and want to work to get you the best outcome on your case. A criminal defense attorney is ready to protect your rights.

THE THREE CLASSES OF MISDEMEANORS

There are three classes of Collin county misdemeanor cases: Classes A, B, and C. Class C level offenses are punishable by fine only (up to $500.00), and many times are handled in municipal or justice of the peace courts. Class B level misdemeanor cases can be punished by up to 180 days in the county jail, up to a $2,000.00 fine, or a combination of fines and jail time. Class A misdemeanors can be punished with up to a year in the county jail, up to a $4,000.00 fine, or a combination of fines and jail time.
