Drug Paraphernalia Charges in University City, MO - for as little as $450

If you are facing a ticket for possession of drug paraphernalia in University City, MO, do you know the best way to handle it? Are you thinking about just simply pleading guilty to the charge? If so, do you have a full understanding of the consequences of such a decision? For instance, do you know why such a charge will go on your permanent record? Was the type of paraphernalia that was found in the form of a bong, or a chillum, or rolling papers, or a dug-out (or some other instrument that can be commonly used in drug activity)? Are you familiar with the benefits of what an experienced attorney can do for you in this kind of situation?

The best thing you can do when facing a University City MO charge of possession of drug paraphernalia is to retain the services of a good criminal defense attorney. Such a person can usually get the charge reduced to some lesser infraction (like “littering,” which does not even show up on your record). This will in turn ensure that nothing harmful will come as a result of the charge.

As of January 1, 2017, the following laws regarding drug paraphernalia possession went into effect:

1. If you are caught with paraphernalia, and it is your first offense, then it is a Class D Misdemeanor
2. If you have plead guilty to any prior drug-related crimes, then it is a Class A Misdemeanor

But if you were to plead guilty to the charge, then this would result in a permanent conviction on your record (forever). This in turn will have a disastrous effect on your ability to find a decent job (because employers screen out applicants who have such charges on their background checks); you will have a difficult time getting a good apartment; and you will likely lose any governmental benefits you might be currently enjoying.
