Trusted Defense in Misdemeanor Cases
Orange, California, criminal defense lawyer Ernest L. Eady
Though misdemeanor charges in California are by definition less serious than felony charges, you can still face up to a year in jail and a fine of $1000 or more, if convicted. It's also very possible that misdemeanor convictions will show up in future background checks, limiting your opportunities for good jobs.
As an Orange County criminal defense attorney who has defended hundreds of clients, I know it's never a good idea to take misdemeanor charges lightly. If you face a misdemeanor charge, contact an experienced criminal defense attorney to begin your defense. In many situations, I can make your court appearances for you, allowing you to go on with your life.
Contact me at 714-656-2900. With the Law Offices of Ernest L. Eady, you have more than three decades of criminal defense at your side as you face misdemeanor or felony area charges. Free initial consultations. My office is near the Garden Grove Freeway/Route 22, next to The Block shopping center in Orange, California.
My legal skills and experience help Orange County clients facing a wide variety of misdemeanor charges. Examples of misdemeanor charges include the following:
- Spousal abuse, domestic violence

Making the best of a bad situation
In many misdemeanor situations, house arrest or probation can be substituted for jail time. In other cases, an experienced defense attorney can arrange for community service or counseling to take the place of more severe penalties such as jail time or large fines. The sooner you call me to talk over the details of your misdemeanor charges, the sooner we can discuss the option available to you.
