Our Award-Winning Lawyer Can Help You Avoid Prison and Other Consequences - Call (210) 201-7622

A misdemeanor is a lesser crime than a felony but can still carry serious consequences, including imprisonment at the county jail for up to a year, lengthy probation terms, and large fines. Typical misdemeanors include DWI, DUI, Assault - Family Violence, Possession of Marijuana, Resisting Arrest, Theft by Check, shoplifting, Minor in Possession, Public Intoxication, Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon, and Burglary of a Vehicle.

Class C Misdemeanor

  • Maximum Fine of $500
  • Typical offenses include Public Intoxication and Driving Under the Influence (DUI)

Class B Misdemeanor

  • Maximum Fine of $2,000
  • 0 to 6 months in county jail or probation
  • Typical offenses include Possession of Marijuana and Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)

Class A Misdemeanor

  • Maximum Fine of $2,000
  • 0 to 1 year in county jail or probation
  • Typical offenses include Assault and Theft $500 - $1500

The Bexar County District Attorney and City Attorney's offices file thousands of misdemeanors each year. Just because misdemeanor crimes are not as serious as felonies does not mean that they cannot affect your life. Even misdemeanor probation can last up to two years.

Certain misdemeanor convictions can still adversely impact you in a divorce or child custody proceeding, lead to lengthy driver's license suspensions, disqualification from receiving federal financial aid to attend college, and restrictions on your ability to own a firearm. A misdemeanor criminal conviction will appear on your criminal record forever, and theft and assault convictions may adversely affect your ability to get a job.

  • “I would highly recommend him if ever you need an attorney.”
    I contacted Mr. Ambrosino about an issue we were having about two months ago. He was very responsive and always easy to communicate with. If ever I had a question during the process, he was quick to respond with an answer. He was kind enough to even email me while on vacation with his own family which showed he truly cares about his clients. Mr. Ambrosino took the time to educate me on the current laws and the court process. He sent me all the court filings and paperwork for my own files and always kept me up to date. In the end we received the outcome we were hoping for and I attribute that to Mr. Ambrosino’s hard work and knowledge. I would highly recommend him if ever you need an attorney. Thank you for your help Mr. Ambrosino.

  • “Mr. Roberto Ambrosino is an amazing lawyer!!!”
    Mr. Roberto Ambrosino is an amazing lawyer!!! I can not speak highly enough he is quick, efficient, and professional! I did everything online, through mail, and the phone. He kept in touch about every aspect of my case. After I sent documents and made a payment he approached the judge soon after and my case was closed. I am extremely pleased with his services. I highly recommend him. Now a few years later I reached out to him again regarding obtaining documents and again he is very communicative and on top of everything. I am a very satisfied customer.

  • “Mr. Ambrosino is a true professional. He truly delivers on his word.”
    Mr. Ambrosino is a true professional. He truly delivers on his word. When the prosecutor pushed back to prevent my acceptance into the PreTrial Diversions Program, Mr. Ambrosino fought back and earned my acceptance into PTD. Once I am done with PTD, he will be expunging my charge so that my record is clean for graduate school. Thank you Mr. Ambrosino.

    Mr. Ambrosino is an amazing lawyer. He is very matter of fact and to the point. He was able to get my case dismissed when all other lawyers told me that it would be impossible. I never felt like he gave me the run around with my case. He was always available to answer any questions I had. I would definitely hire him again.
