Misdemeanors

A misdemeanor in Indiana is a "lesser" criminal act. However, that does not mean it should not be taken seriously. Defendants charged with misdemeanors face the possibility of a jail sentence just as they would if charged with a felony. Some people do not hire a lawyer to handle their misdemeanor case with the thought that it will not affect them in the future. In today's economic times, employers are often more selective about the people they hire. If given the opportunity to hire two equally qualified candidates, an employer may elect to hire the candidate without a misdemeanor conviction regardless of its seriousness. As such, you should take all criminal charges seriously.
