This doesn't mean you should treat a misdemeanor charge any less seriously, as serious convictions can result in dire consequences for your future.

What Are Misdemeanors in Florida?
In the state of Florida, misdemeanors are considered "minor" criminal charges. Most criminal cases in Florida are classified as felony or misdemeanor cases. Factors that influence misdemeanor levels in Florida generally pertain to the severity of the crime, whether or not the crime is considered violent, and any drug-related issues taken into account.

Misdemeanor Court Process in Okaloosa
The concept of a pre-trial hearing in misdemeanor cases is generally intended to save the court time and allow for a resolution without an actual trial. This allows the case to be cleared up before the required court date, saving the defendant additional time and expense of a trial.
The pre-trial period resolves the most expeditious way to close the case, whether that be in trial, plea negotiation, or with the judge's dismissal. Even if you are not set for a pre-trial hearing, you still need an experienced attorney who knows this stage in your case and can help position your case for a good outcome.
You Have Rights in an Arrest
Law enforcement must respect your constitutional rights and provide you with clear interpretations and options when making your arrest. Should you be detained by authorities, avoid making self-incriminating statements without communicating with your lawyer first. Understand that you have the right to refuse any searches, even of your vehicle, and understand your legal need to communicate with your counsel.
