Have you been charged recently with a misdemeanor in Riverview MO (or somewhere in the St Louis area)? Are you trying to figure out your options? Are you curious about your rights (and how to defend them)? Do you understand the benefits that come by hiring an experienced St Louis criminal defense lawyer (and how such a person can make your life much easier)?
Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best Option!!These are fantastic questions to ask if you have been charged by the government. But the unfortunate thing is that most people do not even begin to learn about their rights until they have a run-in with the law. As a result, many folks have no idea if/when their Constitutional rights are being violated (it happens way more frequently than you think). And if your rights are violated (i.e. a police officer making an expansive interpretation of the 4th Amendment), then you have the ability to fight back in court.
While this may be true, the fact is that the vast majority of people do not hire an attorney to help them through the process (either because they do not have enough money, there is no public defender system at the municipality level, or they believe that a misdemeanor is “no big deal”). And if you end representing yourself, then chances are you’ll do nothing more than pleading guilty.
But pleading guilty will allow the state to put the conviction onto your permanent record. This will in turn have a very negative effect on your ability to get a job in the future (or rent an apartment, or take out a business loan, or seek student financial aid). Why? Because most of those organizations run criminal background checks on all applicants.
