The last thing you want to do with this kind of citation is plead guilty to it!! Why? Because a MetroLink violation is actually a misdemeanor!!
And if you plead guilty to a misdemeanor, it will go on your permanent record forever as a criminal citation. If someone performs a simple background check, they will see it. This will then create major problems for you in the future (like when you apply for a job).
Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best OptionThe reason for all this craziness is because the city and country decided to start cracking down on MetroLink violations a couple years ago. Since then, thousands of people have been cited for things like “fare evasion,” which basically means you used the train without first paying for the privilege.
But things do not have to turn out badly on your case!! There is a much better route to taken than pleading guilty! Our goal is simple and straightforward: we will seek to have the charges brought against you dismissed (i.e. thrown out). Now this is a far better outcome than pleading guilty!
The St Louis MetroLink lawyers at The Bankruptcy Company, have been helping people with their city and county ticket citations for many years. Our goal is to get the ticket reduced to something minor, or thrown out altogether. Either way, we want to make sure that you are able to continue making use of the Metro services in the future.
