what is criminal misdemeaner

Misdemeanors are crimes punishable by less than a year in jail time. Class A misdemeanors, for instance, are punishable by up to 364 days in jail and up to $2500 in fines plus costs or both. Without more information regarding your specific charges, it is impossible to say what classification your misdemeanor bears. I highly recommend you speak with an attorney familiar with the Court where your case will be heard. Any misdemeanor offense is potentially serious. Good luck.
