Have you been charged with a misdemeanor in or near Pasadena Park MO? Was it a marijuana possession or for drug paraphernalia? Or was it stealing, or trespass, or assault? There are a number of different misdemeanors that the state can potentially charge you with.
But unfortunately, most people do not ever hire an attorney to help them. Either because they lack the funds, they feel like they would do fine by themselves, or they simply have no idea what sort of options are available to them.
Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best Option!!The problem that this creates is pretty easy to predict: when you represent yourself in court, and you don’t know how to navigate your way through the criminal justice system, then there is a high likelihood that you’ll end up doing nothing more than pleading guilty to the charge.
Why is this outcome bad? Because a guilty plea will in turn allow the state to put the conviction on your permanent record. And once it is on your record, it will stay there forever (hence the term “permanent”). This will have a negative impact on your ability to get a good job, rent a decent apartment, or even take out a business loan (because most of these entities will run criminal background checks, see the conviction, and rule you out as a candidate).
The good news is that we have a much better plan in mind for you!! Our team will review all the facts of your case, and determine the best course of action. In some cases, this will involve a dismissal of the charges. And in other times we can the charges reduced to a lesser infraction (like “littering,” which will not show up on your record at all). All you need to do is give us a call (as soon as possible)!!
