Understanding Misdemeanor Charges in Colorado
In Colorado, misdemeanors are less serious crimes than felonies but still carry meaningful penalties. They are divided into three classes, each with varying consequences. Desai Hunter Law handles a wide range of misdemeanor cases, including:  

• Class 1 Misdemeanors: The most serious, such as third-degree assault, theft (valued at $750-$2,000), or certain DUI offenses, punishable by up to 364 days in jail, fines up to $1,000, or both.  
  
• Class 2 Misdemeanors: Including reckless driving, harassment, or disorderly conduct, carrying up to 120 days in jail, fines up to $750, or both.  
  
• Class 3 Misdemeanors: The least severe, such as petty theft (under $300) or certain trespassing offenses, punishable by up to 60 days in jail, fines up to $500, or both.
  

Additionally, Colorado recognizes certain drug-related misdemeanors, such as possession of small amounts of controlled substances, which may involve specific penalties or diversion programs. Our team is well-versed in Colorado’s misdemeanor laws, including mandatory minimums, probation, or community service requirements, and we tailor defenses to minimize the impact on your life.
