Misdemeanor Criminal Record
Whether
you are charged as an adult or as a juvenile, a conviction for a
misdemeanor can deny you employment and can impact you for life. Houston
Misdemeanor Defense Attorneys James Sullivan and Associates are
experienced in defending those accused of misdemeanors and felonies.
Because a conviction results in a criminal record, a misdemeanor charge must be taken seriously. Unless the charge is expunged or non-disclosed (sealed), a misdemeanor will show up on a background check. Once you are convicted, it will stay on your record forever.
Being
convicted or accused of a misdemeanor can have devastating
consequences. Hiring an experienced Houston Misdemeanor Defense Attorney
can make the difference between being found guilty or not guilty.
A
misdemeanor case that is dismissed, reduced to a Class C deferred
adjudication or results in a not guilty verdict may be eligible for an
expunction. A Class A or Class B misdemeanor case with a successful
completion of a deferred adjudication may be eligible for non-disclosure
(sealing) of criminal history.
