What Are Petty Misdemeanor Crimes in Hawaii?

The third and most minor of the three grades of crimes in Hawaii’s legal code are petty misdemeanors. Petty misdemeanors include crimes such as:

  • Theft (4th degree)
  • Certain traffic violations
  • Disorderly conduct
  • Harassment
  • Minor assault charges

Due to the less severe nature of petty misdemeanors, a judge alone will preside over your case. Juries are never called to hear petty misdemeanor crimes. However, the defendant can hire a defense attorney to advocate for him or her in court, and evidence, as well as witness testimony, is permissible during the hearings.

Marijuana Offenses

As far as maximum sentencing goes, petty misdemeanors can absolutely damage an individual’s finances and career and even their freedoms.

  • Fines can reach up to $1,000
  • Jail time can reach up to 30 days
  • Licenses can be suspended and possibly revoked

It helps to hire a defense attorney to defend you in court, even from petty misdemeanor crimes. Even the smallest criminal offenses can go public and put your career at risk. If you believe in your innocence and believe your charges are worth fighting, then so do we. Call our law offices and begin fighting back TODAY!
