Even a misdemeanor like shoplifting or disorderly conduct can result in jail time and hefty fines. Misdemeanors are less serious than felonies,  and are categorized as either a gross misdemeanor or a simple misdemeanor. Both gross and simple misdemeanors may result in jail time, fines, probation, and other legal requirements. Having a misdemeanor conviction on your record can impact your future by affecting your ability to get a loan, job or professional license.
