Whether it is a marijuana possession, drug paraphernalia, trespass, or stealing charge in Ellendale MO, then you should give us a call right away!! Our goal would be to get you the best possible outcome available (and make sure your record stays clean)!
Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best Option!!In some cases, we can get the charges dismissed. This would normally occur when the facts show that your Constitutional rights were violated in some manner (usually by the arresting police officer). In other instances, we can work out a deal with the prosecutor to either get the charge reduced to some lesser offense (like “littering,” which would not show up on your permanent record), or an SIS (which suspends the imposition of any sentence, and places you under a probationary period; once the period lapses, and if you haven’t gotten in any more trouble, then the charges drop off as if they never existed).
Now you can always represent yourself. There is no rule or law that demands that you hire an attorney to represent your interests. But if you choose to go it alone, then there is a very good chance that you will end up pleading guilty to the charge. If you plead guilty, then it will stay on your permanent record forever. This can have a substantial impact upon your ability to get a job, rent an apartment, or take out a loan (even an education loan). Why? Because most of those entities run criminal background checks on all potential applicants.
So as you can see, it is far better to get in touch with us! You can give us a call, shoot us a text, send us an email, or fill out an online form. And we will get to work on your case immediately!!
