The biggest misunderstanding that most people have in regards to a MetroLink violation is that it is nothing more than a common ticket (like a basic speeding infraction). But in actuality, such a violation is a misdemeanor!
And misdemeanors should not be taken lightly! For example, if you decide to plead guilty to this kind of ticket, it will go on your permanent record as a criminal conviction. And a criminal conviction on your record will show up on a basic background check. This in turn will cause a great deal of trouble for you in the future when you try and do simple things (like apply for a job, open a bank account, rent an apartment, or qualify for governmental benefits).
Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best OptionBut it does not have to turn out this way for you!! There is a much better alternative! We want to get the charges dismissed altogether (so that you never have to worry about it again); or at the very least, we will want to get the charges reduced to a lesser infraction (so nothing bad shows up on your record).
This is a far better outcome than pleading guilty!! So give us a call today, and we will help you out!
