Gross Misdemeanor and Misdemeanor offenses in Minnesota may include: DWI, DUI, theft, sex crimes, drug offenses, assault, and many more. A felony offense in Minnesota is defined by the possible sentence it carries, which start at one year and a day and go up depending on the offense. This is differentiated from the lesser crimes of gross misdemeanor and misdemeanor which are generally up to a year or commonly 90 days in jail. Fines are also imposed and are generally crime specific. Martin Law Offices will provide you with an excellent Minnesota Misdemeanor Lawyer.

Misdemeanors Can Turn Serious… Fast

Misdemeanors may be a lesser crime than a felony but do not be fooled into thinking that they do not carry serious penalties. Unlike a petty misdemeanor – a misdemeanor is a higher level crime. A misdemeanor will show up on a background check, can restrict employment and government service, or even certain certifications. Moreover, a misdemeanor in some circumstances may be charged as a felony depending on factors like the seriousness and type of the crime, injuries to others, or defendant’s prior record.

Whether you have already been charged with a felony, gross misdemeanor, or a standard misdemeanor crime, or you suspect you’re about to be charged, it’s vital to understand the relevant laws. No matter which offense you have been charged with, you have a right to a fair and equal defense under the law.
