Misdemeanor Defense Attorney in San Diego 

Fighting Misdemeanor Charges in San Diego, Riverside, and Orange Counties 

California law divides crimes into two main categories: felonies and misdemeanors. Felonies are the more serious offenses and can result in state prison sentences, while misdemeanors are typically punishable by up to one year in county jail. 

Some offenses fall into a unique category known as “wobblers, ” meaning they may be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the facts of the case. Other offenses are classified as “straight misdemeanors, ” which are always charged at the misdemeanor level. 

Common Wobbler Offenses Include: 

  • Vehicle theft 
  • Receiving stolen property 
  • Forgery 
  • Fraud 
  • Embezzlement 

These charges can be elevated to felony-level penalties depending on the circumstances, meaning the consequences can become significantly more severe. 

Common Straight Misdemeanors Include: 

  • DUI Assault 
  • Battery 
  • Drug possession 
  • Sex-related offenses 
  • Domestic violence 

Even though these are not felonies, misdemeanor convictions can still carry serious penalties, including jail time, fines, probation, and a lasting criminal record.
