Misdemeanor Record
Whether you are charged as an adult or juvenile, a misdemeanor conviction can deny you employment and stigmatize you as a criminal. Criminal defense attorneys Kevin and Tim Clancy specialize in the defense of those accused of misdemeanors and felonies.

A misdemeanor should be taken seriously because a conviction results in a criminal record. A misdemeanor likely will show up on a background check. Once you are convicted or plead guilty, it will remain on your record forever.

Being accused or convicted of a misdemeanor can have devastating effects on your life. For misdemeanor crimes, an experienced criminal defense lawyer can make the difference between being found guilty or not guilty.

A misdemeanor case that is dismissed, found not guilty or reduced to a Class C deferred adjudication may be eligible for an expunction. A misdemeanor case that is a Class A or Class B deferred adjudication may be eligible for a motion for nondisclosure of criminal history.
