If you’ve been charged criminally in Pine Lawn MO, and you are wondering about your options, then here it is: 1) you can represent yourself – and hope for the best outcome; 2) you can hire an experienced St Louis criminal defense attorney.
When we are hired to help someone with a criminal matter in the St Louis area, we take a very close look at the facts surrounding the case (the initial source of documented evidence would be in the form of the police report). This is important to do because every so often, we are able to get the charges dismissed outright.
Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best Option!!The next best outcome would involve our team working out a deal with the local prosecutor to get the charges reduced to a lesser infraction (like “littering”) so that nothing negative shows up on your permanent record. Or in the alternative, we request an SIS from the court, in which you are put on probation (and if you complete the probationary period without any further incidents, then the charges drop off as if they never existed).
But unfortunately, most people do not hire an attorney, and instead represent themselves. Why is this a problem? Aside from the fact that most folks don’t know how to properly navigate the criminal justice system, the fact of the matter is that most people do nothing more plead guilty to the charge. And if you plead guilty, the state will put the conviction on your permanent record (and there it will stay forever).
But all you need to do is give us a call!! We will answer all your questions, describe your full range of options, and help to ensure that your record stays clean!
