North St Louis County MO Criminal Defense Lawyer - just $450
- The first thing to point out is that having an experienced attorney on your side is going to ensure that your rights are upheld. Because if you represent yourself, you’ll be expected to know just as much as a lawyer (the judge will not care that you didn’t go to law school).
- There are two main goals that your attorney would be shooting for: 1) get the charges reduced to a minor infraction (so that nothing bad shows up on your record); 2) get the charges thrown out altogether (this will depend upon the specific facts of your case)
- A guilty plea will allow the state to put the charge on your permanent record
- Once the charge is on your record, it will stay there forever
- And anyone wishing to run a criminal background check will be able to see it
- This will in turn have a tremendous impact on whether or not you get a job, rent an apartment, take out a student loan, or receive governmental assistance
- Only the state and federal governments can issue felonies; individual municipalities are only limited to issuing misdemeanors
- With misdemeanor cases, the prosecutor is usually much more willing to work out a deal with your attorney (to get the charges reduced)
- Because felonies are reserved for criminal behavior that is more severe, the penalties are harsher (in terms of potential jail time and fines)
