We Want to Get the Misdemeanor Charge Reduced So That It Does Not Show Up on Your Record

If you are unsure about how to answer these questions, then it is most certainly time that you speak with an attorney!! Why? Below is a short list of reasons:

  1. A good attorney can examine the facts surrounding your case and determine whether or not you have any good defenses to the alleged charges
  2. A lawyer can negotiate a deal with the local prosecutor to see if the charges can be reduced to some lesser offense (like “littering,” which does not even show up on your record)
  3. An attorney can usually attend most required courthouse hearings on your behalf (so that you do not need to show up)
  4. And an affordable attorney can perform all of these services at a low price (most Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park MO marijuana possession charges can be handled for only $450)

As of January 1, 2017, the following laws regarding marijuana possession went into effect:

  1. If you are caught with less 10 grams of marijuana, it is a Class D Misdemeanor (unless you’ve already been convicted on a prior possession charge, in which case it would be a Class A Misdemeanor)
  2. If you are caught with between 10 – 35 grams, it is a Class A Misdemeanor
  3. If you are caught with between 35 grams – 30 kilograms, it is a Class C Felony
$450 to Take Care of Most Missouri Criminal Defense Misdemeanor Charges

Most people do nothing more than plead guilty to such a charge. They believe (incorrectly) that they have no other alternative. But a guilty plea will result in a drug conviction becoming a permanent part of your record. This will have a dramatic effect on your ability to get a good job (or rent an apartment, secure a student loan, hold onto your commercial driver’s license, and maintain any current governmental benefits).

But we have a much better plan in mind!! We want to take a very close look at your case, examine all the pertinent facts, and determine the best course of action to resolve the citation. At the very least, we want to try and get the charge reduced so that it does not go onto your record.
