Misdemeanors
Upland Criminal Lawyer
Misdemeanors are criminal offenses which are less serious than felonies, which are punishable by up to one year in jail and fines of up to $1,000. Being charged with a misdemeanor is something you should take seriously. A misdemeanor conviction will give you a permanent criminal record. If you are facing a misdemeanor charge in Glendora or in the surrounding areas of western San Bernardino County or eastern Los Angeles County, we advise you to contact the Law Office of Christine D. Thielo to arrange a free, initial 30-minute legal consultation.
Upland criminal attorney Thielo will review and evaluate your case so that you can make an informed decision about how to proceed.
Misdemeanor Cases in California 
Misdemeanor offenses include such crimes as shoplifting, petty theft, trespassing, disorderly conduct, probation violations, violation of restraining orders, reckless driving, domestic violence, simple assault, battery with no or minimum injury, DUI or DWI, and others. Depending on the facts of the case, a misdemeanor can be elevated to a felony, which is more serious. This will depend on the nature of the offense, whether a victim was injured and how serious the injuries were, and whether the offender had any prior convictions.
If you are convicted of a misdemeanor, whether pleading guilty or being found guilty in a jury trial, you may be sentenced to probation with or without jail time, community service, restitution, court-ordered counseling, financial penalties, or restraining orders.
It is always best in any criminal matter to have a highly-qualified criminal defense lawyer handling your case. Our Upland criminal lawyer will give your case the determined attention it needs and make every effort to secure a favorable outcome.
