A misdemeanor is a less serious crime than a felony, but the effects of a conviction are still serious. It can result in up to two years in a county jail, or probation with mandatory treatment for issues. These issues include alcohol, domestic violence, and anger management. The financial costs for one can approach those for felonies. While fines are typically not as high, the costs of probation, in-home detention, and mandatory drug or other treatment can cost thousands of dollars.
