Misdemeanor Criminal Record

Whether you are charged as an adult or as a juvenile, a conviction for a misdemeanor can deny you employment and can impact you for life. Houston Misdemeanor Defense Attorneys James Sullivan and Associates are experienced in defending those accused of misdemeanors and felonies.

Because a conviction results in a criminal record, a misdemeanor charge must be taken seriously. Unless the charge is expunged or non-disclosed (sealed), a misdemeanor will show up on a background check. Once you are convicted, it will stay on your record forever.

Being convicted or accused of a misdemeanor can have devastating consequences. Hiring an experienced Houston Misdemeanor Defense Attorney can make the difference between being found guilty or not guilty.

A misdemeanor case that is dismissed, reduced to a Class C deferred adjudication or results in a not guilty verdict may be eligible for an expunction. A Class A or Class B misdemeanor case with a successful completion of a deferred adjudication may be eligible for non-disclosure (sealing) of criminal history.
