We Want to Get the Marijuana Charge Reduced So That It Does Not Show Up on Your RecordIt simply cannot be said enough: pleading guilty to the charge of marijuana possession in Kinloch MO is the worst thing you can do. Why? Because pleading guilty allows the state to place the charge on your permanent record. This will in turn have an incredibly destructive effect on your ability to gain decent employment (many potential employers will turn you away simply because of that blemish on your record). Your chances of getting a good apartment will diminish appreciably (what landlord is going to want a drug felon on his property?) And even your shot at getting a student loan will be hampered.
