The Consequences of a Misdemeanor Charge in Florida

Criminal defense attorney, Marc Pelletier, explains the consequences of a Misdemeanor charge in Florida. Certain types of misdemeanor charges can have consequences that are equivalent to the consequences that might be felt when a person is charged with a felony. In particular a person needs to be very concerned when they've been charged with a crime of dishonesty or untruthfulness even if it is a misdemeanor. A common example of this would be a shoplifting or petit theft charge or a worthless check charge. These are considered crimes of dishonesty and untruthfulness and they can be a barrier to finding or keeping employment. A person who is convicted of a crime of dishonesty or untruthfulness might have a very difficult time obtaining any kind of job that requires them to handle money such as a cashier or working as a clerk in a retail establishment. In addition, a crime of dishonesty untruthfulness, even if it is a misdemeanor, may still have a great impact on someone's ability to get licensed in the nursing, medical, legal, real estate or insurance fields. And finally, it's also important to keep in mind that misdemeanor drug charges such as possession of marijuana carry a mandatory and automatic one year driver's license suspension upon conviction.
