Hazelwood MO criminal charges are very serious matters!! They should therefore be handled with the utmost care!
So if you end up pleading guilty to the charge, there are several things you should be made aware of! First of all, pleading guilty to a misdemeanor or felony charge will allow the judge to potentially sentence you to substantial jail time and/or a large fine!!
For example, if you are caught with a small amount of marijuana (less than 35 grams), the state can charge you with a Class A Misdemeanor. This can come with up to one (1) year of jail and a $1,000 fine.
Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best Option!!And beyond this potential sentence, there is the fact that it will become a part of your permanent record as a drug conviction. This will allow anyone who wishes to run a background check you a chance to see the conviction. As a result, you will have a much more difficult time with a job interview, an apartment application, or when you try to secure governmental benefits!!
But we have a much better plan in mind for your case!! We will closely examine all the facts of your situation, and develop the best defense strategy for your particular charge. Sometime our efforts will result in a dismissal of the charges, and other times we can get the charge reduced to a lesser offense. Either way, this is far better than pleading guilty!!
