Even though a misdemeanor is less serious than a felony, a misdemeanor conviction still goes on a criminal record and can affect employment, housing, and professional licensing. After release on bail, defendants should take their case seriously and consult with a licensed California criminal defense attorney. A first-offense misdemeanor in many cases can be resolved through plea negotiations, diversion programs, or community service.
