Facing misdemeanor charges in Pennsylvania may seem less severe than a felony, but a conviction can still have serious and lasting consequences. A misdemeanor on your record can impact your employment opportunities, professional licensing, housing, and even your ability to own a firearm. At Aegis Law, LLC, we provide legal assistance to individuals in Philadelphia who are facing misdemeanor charges, helping them understand their rights and fight for the best possible outcome.
Pennsylvania divides misdemeanors into three categories based on severity:
A conviction can result in jail time ranging from a few months to several years, depending on the severity of the charge. Additionally, fines can be substantial, placing a financial burden on the convicted individual.
A misdemeanor conviction remains on your criminal record indefinitely unless expunged or pardoned. This means:
Certain misdemeanor convictions, particularly those involving domestic violence, may result in a lifetime prohibition from owning or possessing firearms under federal law.
For non-U.S. citizens, a misdemeanor conviction can have severe immigration consequences, including deportation, visa denials, or inability to apply for U.S. citizenship.
A misdemeanor on your record can be used against you in family court disputes, especially in child custody battles. Courts may view a criminal record as a sign of instability or risk to the child’s well-being.
Instead of jail, the court may impose probation, requiring individuals to comply with conditions such as regular check-ins, drug testing, and community service. Violating probation can lead to additional penalties, including jail time.
In Pennsylvania, certain misdemeanor offenses can be expunged or sealed after a waiting period, allowing individuals to clear their records. This process is complex, but Aegis Law, LLC can help determine your eligibility and assist with filing for expungement.
If you are facing misdemeanor charges in Philadelphia, securing strong legal representation is critical. At Aegis Law, LLC, we fight to protect your rights, negotiate plea deals, and work towards reducing or dismissing charges when possible.
A misdemeanor conviction can have lasting effects on your life. If you or a loved one has been charged with a misdemeanor in Pennsylvania, contact Aegis Law, LLC for skilled legal guidance. Our team is committed to defending your rights and helping you move forward.
