University City MO might be a smaller municipality, but they do hand out quite a few misdemeanor charges!! And it is key that a criminal charge be handled correctly! Because otherwise you are risking long term consequences (that may not be readily apparent to you right now).
For instance, if you plead guilty to a criminal charge, that will end up on your permanent record. And once it is on your permanent record, it will stay there forever (hence the word “permanent”). A criminal conviction showing up on your record will have negative repercussions on your life for a long time. For example, a simple background check will reveal the conviction, and any potential employers could easily screen you out as a result (the same would be true for an apartment, student loan, or government benefit).
Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best Option!!So if you’d rather avoid all of that negativity, then you should definitely give us a call!! We will examine all the facts of your case, figure out the best defense strategy, and put you in the best possible position we can! This might result in a dismissal of the charges, or often we can get the charges reduced to a lesser offense (so that nothing shows up on your record). Either way, it is far better than simply pleading guilty!
