An Overview of Misdemeanor Offenses in Wisconsin

In Wisconsin, nearly all criminal offenses that are punishable by a maximum of nine months in jail or less are considered misdemeanors. Misdemeanors are classified as either being Class A, Class B, or Class C, with Class A charges carrying the most serious penalties. While these offenses are generally less serious than a felony charge, they are not without consequences and can expose someone to the possibility of incarceration, fines, and probation.

The following are all misdemeanors in Wisconsin:

  • Theft totaling under $2,500
  • Trespassing
  • Underage alcohol possession
  • Vagrancy
  • Prostitution
  • Disorderly conduct
  • Telephone harassment

In addition to the obvious legal consequences, being convicted of any sort of crime can tarnish a person’s reputation and limit their chances of finding employment. If you have been charged with a misdemeanor, a hard-hitting Wisconsin misdemeanor attorney from our firm can protect your rights and help you minimize your chances of serving these consequences.
