Calverton Park MO Criminal Defense Lawyer - just $450

1. Hiring an experienced attorney will increase your chances of receiving a favorable outcome with regards to your case. You can of course represent yourself (there is no rule requiring you to retain the services of a lawyer). But beware – the court will not give you any special leeway just because didn’t go to law school (the judge and prosecutor will treat you the same as if you are an actual attorney)
2. On the other hand, if you do hire an attorney, that individual will have a far better chance at getting the charges reduced to a lesser infraction (so that nothing shows up on your record), or in some cases, get the charges thrown out altogether (depending on the circumstances and facts of your particular case).
3. And to be perfectly honest, an attorney shouldn’t charge an arm and a leg to perform these services. We feel as if most law firms assess fees that are far in excess of what they need to be. As a result, we only ask for $450 for most misdemeanors in the St Louis area.

1. A plea of guilty will allow the state to put the charge onto your permanent record
2. Once the charge is on your record, it will appear as a criminal conviction to anyone running a background check
3. Who might run a background check? Potential employers, landlords, government agencies, bank, etc. This will in turn harm your chances at getting a job, apartment, etc.

1. A felony can only be issued by the state; municipalities are limited to issuing misdemeanors
2. A felony charge can carry a substantial potential sentence of jail time and fines; misdemeanors can come with jail time and fines (but much less severe)
