Normandy MO Criminal Defense Lawyer - just $450
- Because if you represent yourself, then the judge and prosecutor will still treat you as if you are an attorney. In other words, you will not get any latitude from the court just because you didn’t go to law school. You will be expected to know how the criminal justice system works.
- The other thing you should know is that most self-represented folks do nothing more than plead guilty to the charge.
- But a good attorney will know how to work closely with the local prosecutor to get the charges reduced to a lesser infraction (so that nothing shows up on your record), and in some cases, we can even get the charge dropped altogether
- If you plead guilty, the charge will become a part of your permanent record
- Having a criminal conviction on your record will have huge implications on your future
- For instance, if you apply for a job, the potential employer will very likely run a background check on you.
- If your record is marred by a conviction, then you may very well be screened out as a candidate.
- A felony charge is issued when the state considers the criminal behavior to be excessive or severe
- Misdemeanors will come with much less jail time and a smaller fine
- Only the state and federal government can issue a felony; municipalities can only issue misdemeanors
