Florissant MO Criminal Defense Lawyer - just $450
- Yes, there are lots of advantages! You wouldn’t operate on yourself, would you? You wouldn’t try and calculate the amortization rates of your mortgage, would you? Then you certainly do not want to represent yourself in a criminal matter. But if you make that decision, please note that the court (i.e. judge and prosecutor) will not give you any leeway just because you didn’t go to law school! The court will regard you as if you are in fact an attorney.
- Most attorneys are able to get criminal charges reduced to a lesser infraction (so that it does not become a part of your permanent record). And in some situations, the attorney can even get the charge thrown out altogether (depending on the facts of your case).
- And if the attorney is affordable, then he/she can handle your case at a reasonable rate! For example, we only charge $450 for most misdemeanor cases in the St Louis area.
- When you plead guilty to a charge leveled against you, it will go onto your permanent record as a criminal conviction
- A criminal conviction will show up on a simple background check
- So when you go to apply for a job in the future, the potential employer will see it (same goes for a landlord, bank, or government agency)
- The biggest difference is the one that most people already know about – a felony charge is treated much more severely than a simple misdemeanor (in terms of potential jail time and fines)
- The only government entities that can issue a felony are the state and feds (individual municipalities are limited to misdemeanors only)
