Misdemeanors range from punishment that includes only a fine all the way up to a year in the county jail. A misdemeanor is different from a felony in that it does not have penitentiary time as a possible consequence.
Some may think, “It’s only a misdemeanor, so I should not be too worried about the consequences.” WRONG. Although a misdemeanor may be relatively minor in the big scheme of things, a conviction can have serious consequences, as it can follow you around for life. Employers are likely to hold a misdemeanor conviction against you, as will landlords and others. It is important to treat a misdemeanor as a very serious matter and strive for the best possible result you can.
