West Palm Beach Misdemeanor Defense Lawyer

If you are facing misdemeanor charges in West Palm Beach, you may feel uncertain about what comes next. Even though misdemeanors are less serious than felonies, they can still lead to jail time, fines and a lasting criminal record.

I am attorney Daniel Lewin, and my entire practice is dedicated to protecting people accused of crimes in Palm Beach County. At The Lewin Law Firm, PLLC, I provide strong, detail-driven representation, personalized attention to every client and free consultations so you can understand your options before making any decisions.

Common Types Of Misdemeanor Charges

Misdemeanors cover a wide range of alleged conduct. I represent clients charged with things like:

  • Petty theft or shoplifting under $750: Taking merchandise valued under $750 can result in a first-degree misdemeanor with potential jail time and restitution.
  • Simple battery, including domestic violence: An allegation of unwanted touching can lead to arrest even without visible injury.
  • Possession of marijuana under 20 grams: Small-quantity possession remains a criminal offense under Florida law.
  • Disorderly conduct: Accusations of disruptive or threatening public behavior often rely heavily on officer testimony.
  • DUI: A first-time DUI is typically charged as a misdemeanor but can carry license suspension and mandatory penalties.

As a West Palm Beach misdemeanor attorney, I scrutinize police reports, body camera footage and witness statements to identify weaknesses in the case.

Misdemeanor Penalties And Consequences In West Palm Beach

Florida law allows up to one year in jail for first-degree misdemeanors and up to 60 days for second-degree offenses. Courts may also impose fines, probation, community service, counseling requirements and other misdemeanor penalties in Florida.

A conviction can appear on background checks, interfere with employment opportunities and affect professional licensing. Even first-time misdemeanor charges can follow you for years. A strong misdemeanor defense lawyer can pursue charge reductions, diversion programs or dismissal when the evidence does not support the accusation.

Why Having An Experienced Local Defense Attorney Matters

Defending misdemeanor charges in West Palm Beach requires familiarity with local court procedures and prosecutorial practices in Palm Beach County. As your criminal defense attorney in West Palm Beach, I move quickly, challenge unlawful searches and protect your constitutional rights at every stage.
