Ellisville MO Criminal Defense Lawyer - just $450

Only $450 For Most Ellisville Missouri Misdemeanor Criminal Defense Should I Hire a Defense Attorney When Charged With a Crime?

1. You can always represent yourself, but if you choose this route, then you should be aware of the fact that most folks do nothing more than plead guilty to the charge.
2. Why do most people plead guilty? Because they don’t have a clue how to navigate the complex world of the criminal justice system (a system that can be far more unjust they would have you believe)
3. But if you retain the services of an experienced lawyer, he or she will be in a good position to achieve a favorable outcome for you. This is very often accomplished by working closely with the local prosecutor to get the charges reduced to some minor offense (so that nothing ends up on your record)

Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best Option!! But if I Plead Guilty, Will There Be Any Long Term Consequences?

1. Yes, quite a few. Because a guilty plea will allow the state to put the charge onto your permanent record as a criminal conviction.
2. A criminal conviction on your record will muck up your future in ways that you probably could not predict.
3. This is because many of the people and/or institutions you deal with later in life will often run a simple background check on you.
4. So potential employment, apartments, student loans, or government assistance programs will very likely be ruined for you.

Are There Many Differences Between a Felony and a Misdemeanor?

1. Felonies are reserved for high degrees of criminal activity (such as murder, arson, and burglary); misdemeanors are far less severe (like common trespassing and petty theft)
2. Only the state of Missouri can charge you with a felony; individual municipalities are limited to misdemeanors
