This is very accomplished by getting the charges reduced to a minor infraction (so that nothing negative will appear on your record), or by getting the charge thrown out altogether.
2. You can of course defend yourself (that is certainly your right). But just know that 9 times out of 10, people representing themselves do nothing more than plead guilty to the charge. This is because these folks have no idea how the system works.
3. And although most law firms charge very high fees for their services, we think they should be as low as possible (so that more people have access to legal counsel). Our firm only charges $450 for most misdemeanors in the St Louis area.

1. This is exactly what most folks end up doing. They choose to represent themselves, roll the dice, and hope for the best. But in the end, the unrepresented defendant has no idea how to negotiate a deal with the prosecutor (nor will the prosecutor be all that psyched about explaining how the criminal justice system operates).
2. And while a guilty plea will put an end to your day in court, it will actually cause for worse problems for you long term
3. Pleading guilty will put the charge on your permanent record
4. This means anyone running a simple criminal background check will see it (like a potential employer)

1. Felonies can come with some pretty harsh jail sentences
2. Felonies are commonly described as criminal activity that can do great harm to people and/or property
3. Only the state and/or federal governments can issue felonies
