Defense For Other Misdemeanor Charges
Miscellaneous Charges We Handle
Not every case fits a single label. The office defends disorderly conduct, communicating threats, second degree trespass, resisting a public officer, minor alcohol offenses, and other citations common around downtown New Bern and nearby neighborhoods. Each charge deserves a plan that addresses the facts and your goals. For theft-related or assault-related matters, see focused pages on larceny and theft or assault defense for details.
Tailored Defense For Any Situation
Many minor charges start with a misunderstanding, heated words, or a mistake on private property. J. Michael Mills reviews reports, talks through the context, and pursues dismissals, deferred outcomes, or reductions to protect your record. When a charge is tied to a missed court date or a license issue, read about license reinstatement to prevent new problems.
Why “Minor” Still Matters
Even Class 3 convictions can appear on background checks and lead to fines or probation. Treating a citation like a simple ticket can create lasting issues. The aim is a practical resolution that keeps opportunities open, and that may include options on the misdemeanor defense overview for next steps.
