Strong Defense for Misdemeanor Charges

Misdemeanor charges may not carry the same weight as felonies, but they can still have serious consequences. A conviction can result in fines, probation, community service, and even jail time. Beyond the legal penalties, a criminal record can affect your employment opportunities, housing, and reputation. At Ryan W. Koppelman Law PC, we provide strong and strategic defense for individuals facing misdemeanor charges in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, and Orange counties. Our goal is to protect your rights, minimize the consequences, and work toward the best possible resolution.

Comprehensive Misdemeanor Defense

Misdemeanor charges come in many forms, each carrying different penalties and long-term effects. We handle a wide range of cases, including:

• Theft-related offenses such as petty theft, shoplifting, and embezzlement
• Violent offenses like simple assault, simple battery, and domestic battery
• Public disturbances including disorderly conduct and public intoxication
• Traffic-related misdemeanors such as reckless driving
• Other offenses like trespassing and obstruction of justice

Even if the penalties seem minor, a conviction can have lasting effects on your life. That’s why having an experienced defense attorney is essential.
