At Rose Law Firm, we take misdemeanors seriously.  Misdemeanors refer to the amount of time a convicted person spends behind bars, usually less than a year.  We will discuss with our clients what they should do in the case they are convicted of a misdemeanor. North Dakota has 3 levels of misdemeanors, while other states can have 4-5 levels.  There are many different considerations when looking into a misdemeanor so looking to defense experts is always the best choice.
