Misdemeanor cases are for less serious criminal matters and would include such crimes as criminal trespassing or first offense for something like writing bad checks or shoplifting. For misdemeanor charges, the sentence is usually less than a year in jail, along with fines and other fees. Even though misdemeanors are less serious than felonies, someone convicted of one still would have a criminal record that would show up on a background check. This could cause issues later in life, even after completing your sentence.
Like with felonies, those who are charged with a misdemeanor have the right to legal representation of their choosing. This does not automatically mean that you have to use a public defender.
