    Misdemeanors

    If an individual is convicted of a misdemeanor charge, they will spend a maximum sentence of up to one year in jail and pay a fine of up to $2,500. There are three classifications of misdemeanor charges in Illinois.

    Class A Misdemeanor: Maximum sentence of one year in jail.

    Class B Misdemeanor: Maximum sentence of six months in jail.

    Class C Misdemeanor: Maximum sentence of one month in jail.

    Misdemeanor assault is one type of misdemeanor offense. Misdemeanor assault is defined as an attempt to cause bodily injury to another or negligently cause bodily injury to another with a deadly weapon. Degree of injury and the criminal intent behind the act could raise the charge to aggravated assault, which is a felony and means more severe penalties if an individual is convicted. Other types of misdemeanor charges can include disorderly conduct, criminal damage of property under $300, violation of an order of protection and shoplifting.

    While misdemeanor charges are far less serious than felony ones, a conviction can still result in jail time, fines and a permanent record, making it more difficult for an individual to secure employment.
