In the state of Missouri, only the county government can charge you with a felony (municipalities cannot). But the County of St Charles MO can also charge you with a misdemeanor. Whether it is trespassing, assault, drug paraphernalia, marijuana possession, or stealing, a misdemeanor charge really needs to be handled properly.
Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best Option!!If your case is not handled correctly, then you are risking a lot of headaches in the future. For instance, if you were to plead guilty to the charge, then the state would place the conviction on your permanent record. Why is that bad? Because an unclean record will interfere with your ability to get a good job, rent a decent apartment, or even from getting a student loan. All the employer, landlord, or government agency has to do is run a simple criminal background check on you, and the conviction will show up clear as day.
But things do not have to turn out this way!! We have a much better plan in mind! Give us a call, and we will answer all your questions, describe your full range of options (like getting the charges reduced to something minor), and help to ensure that your future stays bright! So get in touch with us right away (with a phone call, text, or online inquiry). And we will take it from there!
