Getting a Recommendation from the Prosecutor in St. Louis, MO - for as little as $450

Most St Louis MO Criminal Defense Misdemeanor Charges Can Be Handled for Only $450

When you hire a St. Louis criminal defense attorney, he or she will very likely file an entry of appearance on your case and ask the prosecutor for a “Request for Recommendation”. This is basically a document that is sent to the court to indicate to the prosecutor that you wish to enter into a plea bargain. A plea bargain is basically a deal that you cut with the prosecutor in which the original charge (like say possession of less than 35 grams of marijuana) is reduced to a lesser infraction (like “littering”). The goal of such a deal is to make sure that the more serious offense (St. Louis marijuana possession) does not go onto your permanent record. Once the deal is cut, and the judge accepts the arrangement, then your record stays clean (and all you have to do is pay a fine to the court).

We Want to Get the Misdemeanor Reduced So That It Does Not Show Up on Your Record

As you can see, receiving a recommendation from the prosecutor is a fairly simple and straightforward process. In fact, this process is the way in which most criminal matters are handled all around the country. The reason why the court likes doing things this way is because it is more efficient, less costly, and not nearly as time-consuming as a trial. And your attorney can work out all of the details of the deal on your behalf without you having to do a thing (and more often than not, you will not even have to show up in court at all).

$450 To Take Care of Most St Louis Missouri Criminal Defense Misdemeanor Charges

But unfortunately, most people do not take advantage of this kind of service. Instead, most people will simply plead guilty to the original criminal charge. People do this because they believe (incorrectly) that they have no other available alternative. But if you choose to plead guilty (and not hire an attorney to represent you), then this charge will turn into a conviction on your permanent record. And when you have a criminal conviction on your record, you will end up having a much more difficult time getting a good job, renting an apartment, or maintaining any current governmental benefits (like unemployment security, food stamps, and public housing).
