St. Louis, MO Minor in Possession MIP - for as little as $450

When you are young (or at least under the age of 21), and are caught in possession of alcohol, it is not unusual to receive a St. Louis minor in possession charge. This type of charge is made when you are either found consuming, handling, or possessing any kind of alcohol.

Fortunately, the state recognizes that when you are young, there are plenty of opportunities to make mistakes. And the courts realize that an individual under the age of 21 may at some point drink a beer. But the law is the law, and the state has determined that anyone found to have been consuming or possessing alcohol underage should be punished.

But receiving such a citation is not the end of the world. Indeed, a great many people have been charged with Minor in Possession and gone on to have decent careers. The one thing you don’t want to do is to just let the charges go without doing anything about it. Simply accepting the charges as is (like pleading guilty, or paying a fine, or even doing jail time) can have a detrimental effect on your future. For instance, if you apply for certain kinds of employment, or seek a loan, or even entering into some higher education programs.

Our staff will begin an immediate negotiation with the local prosecutor to get the charges either dropped or reduced to something insignificant (like littering). Once the charges are amended, your record will be clear of anything having to with alcohol (and most illegal drugs).
