Q: Hey I I have questions about three misdemeanors
I have three misdemeanors on face in the court they are obstruction on a officer, public intoxication, misorderly conduct and I’ve already done the maximum penalty for misorderly conduct and public intoxication what do you think my outcome will it is my first offense
A: Every case depends on the specific facts of your case. It sounds like you don't have any prior record and this could be helpful to you. But in order to potentially keep your record clean, your best bet would be to get legal representation quickly in order to present any defenses you may have to the charges and see if they can get a better sentence for you. Disorderly conduct and Obstruction of Justice are both class one misdemeanors that carry up to a 12 month jail sentence and up to a $2500 fine. I would see if there is someone who is local to you that does free consultations and get an attorney on your case.
