Class A Misdemeanors | Criminal Impersonation in the Second Degree

As a Buffalo criminal defense attorney, I am often asked about criminal impersonation in the second degree, which is a Class A misdemeanor. You are guilty of this charge if you assume the identity of someone else with the intent to injure that person, benefit yourself, or defraud someone.

Class A Misdemeanors | Criminal Mischief in the Fourth Degree

As a Buffalo criminal defense attorney, I am often asked about criminal mischief in the fourth degree, which is a Class A misdemeanor. If you intentionally damage property, you are guilty of this charge. You should contact an attorney as soon as possible if you are charged with criminal mischief in the fourth degree.

Class A Misdemeanors | Criminal Obstruction of Breathing or Blood Circulation

As a Buffalo criminal defense attorney, I am often asked about criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation. This is a Class A misdemeanor. If you intentionally block someone’s circulation or breathing by applying pressure to their neck or covering their nose or mouth, you will be guilty of this crime unless you are involved in rendering medical or dental treatment. If you are charged, you should contact a Buffalo criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.

Class A Misdemeanors | Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Fourth Degree

As a Buffalo criminal defense attorney, I am often asked about criminal possession of a weapon, which is an A misdemeanor. The term, “weapon” includes a firearm, revolver, and pistol. It need not be loaded, but you will be guilty of this charge if it is operable. If you are charged with this, you should contact a criminal attorney as soon as possible.
