At Ascheman Law, we represent people that are charged with a wide variety of criminal offenses. The most common level of charges is the misdemeanor. If you are facing misdemeanor charges it is important for you to consult with an attorney to protect your rights.

A misdemeanor is any charge punishable by up to 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. (i.e. Careless Driving, Simple Assault, Prostitution, Theft, DUI, etc.) Unlike petty misdemeanors a misdemeanor is a crime. A misdemeanor conviction can follow you for life.
