Misdemeanor Charges in Massachusetts
Misdemeanors in Massachusetts range from minor infractions, like disorderly conduct, to more serious offenses, such as simple assault, theft, or drug possession. Although these crimes don’t carry the threat of state prison time, they can still lead to significant penalties, including:
- Fines
- Probation
- Community service
- Incarceration in the County House of Correction
Even though misdemeanors are classified as lower-level crimes, they can have a lasting impact on your life. A criminal record for a misdemeanor can make it harder to find employment, secure loans, or obtain housing. Many of these cases also have collateral consequences, like license loss. This is why it’s important to have a strong defense.
