The city and county of St Louis have been cracking down on MetroLink violations recently, especially violations for not paying the proper fare (i.e. evasion). The second most common violation would be using a Metro Pass that has already expired.
Most people assume that a citation of this sort is no big deal. That it will cause no more damage than a simple traffic ticket. But nothing could be further from the truth!!
Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best OptionIn actuality, this type of violation is a misdemeanor! So the last thing you want to do is plead guilty to the charge!! Because if you do, then it will go onto your permanent record as a criminal conviction.
But things do not have to go this route! There is a better way!! Our goal would be to get the charges throw out (i.e. dismissed). Or at the very least, we would seek to have the charges reduced to a lesser infraction (so that nothing negative shows up on your record).
All you have to do is give us a call!! We will answer all your questions, and get you back on the right path!
