When it comes to a criminal charge in St Louis County, you will most certainly want to make sure that your case is handled with care, expertise, and efficiency. This is true whether it is a misdemeanor or felony charge.
Because if you do nothing more than plead guilty to the charge, then it will become a part of your permanent record. And once the conviction is on your permanent record, it will have a tremendously negative impact on your long term plans.
Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best Option!!For instance, most employers will run a criminal background check on individuals applying for a job. If your record is unclean (because you plead guilty to a criminal charge), then it will show up for all to see. This could easily result in your being eliminated as a candidate for the job (even if you are the most qualified on paper). The same thing would be true for things like renting an apartment, taking out a student financial aid, or applying for a business loan.
The good news is that you have a much better option! Our attorneys will work hard to ensure that this charge (misdemeanor or felony) does not do lasting damage to your life. In many cases, we can get the charges reduced to minor infraction (something will not show up on your record at all). And other times we can actually get the charges dropped altogether (this is sometimes possible if the arresting police officer violated your Constitutional rights in some manner). So give us a call, and we will answer all your questions, give you a description of your full range of options, and minimize the outcome of the charges leveled against you!
