Disturbing the Peace in St. Joe State Park, MO - for as little as $450

Is there a ticket for disturbing the peace in St. Joe State Park, MO with your name on it? Was this ticket the result of a party you had at your campsite that got a little bit out of hand? Did the park ranger who wrote the citation claim that you were making too much noise? Are you now trying to figure out how to handle this situation? Are you reviewing your options? Do you know that if you plead guilty to the charge, you are risking some negative consequences in the future? Are you familiar with all the benefits you may receive by retaining the services of an experienced attorney?

A St. Joe State Park MO disturbing the peace (or disorderly conduct) ticket is no laughing matter. But unfortunately, most people do not see it this way. Instead, they think that “it’s no big deal,” or that the ticket “won’t affect me.” But if you plead guilty to the charge, then it will become a part of your permanent record. This means that every time you apply for a job or go to rent an apartment, it will show up on a criminal background check (which is exactly the tool a potential employer or landlord will use in order to screen candidates out). And on top of this future difficulty, there is the more immediate concern of the charge itself. Disturbing the peace is a Class B Misdemeanor, which carries a jail sentence of up to six (6) months and a fine of $500.

If all of that sounds like something you would like to avoid, then you should give us a call right away!! Why? We will want to investigate whether or not any defenses might be available to you (to perhaps get the charges throw out). And if there are no strong defenses, then we would want to look into the possibility of getting the charge reduced to some lesser infraction (like “littering,” which does not even show up on your record). That is a far better outcome that what is described above!
