Misdemeanors generally are defined as crimes punishable by up to a year in jail and a fine. They range from minor assaults to low level property crimes and traffic offenses. They typically involve little or no jail, but certain misdemeanor convictions can affect your drivers’ license, housing and employment. Most misdemeanors can be expunged from your record, but some cannot.
