Re: Class A or B Misdemeanor?
The basic difference is the potential jail time and a class "a" misdemeanor allows for a jury trial whereas a class "b" misdemeanor allows only for a judge trial. If you would like to discuss this further you may call my office @718-834-0087 for a free phone consultation.
