Don’t Fight Your Misdemeanor Alone
Because Misdemeanor convictions carry much lighter possible sentences than felonies, many mistakenly take misdemeanor charges lightly. Make no mistake, a misdemeanor conviction will give you a criminal record, may result in jail time, and will wreak havoc on your personal, family, and professional life.
Adam Bolotin is criminal defense lawyer who works just as tirelessly and aggressively fighting misdemeanor offenses as felonies. Mr. Bolotin has successfully convinced prosecutors to reduce misdemeanor charges to lesser non-criminal offenses, and even to dismiss the case all together.
