Only $450 - Bellefontaine Neighbors MO Misdemeanor Criminal Defense

Most people do not hire an attorney to help defend them against criminal charges in Bellefontaine Neighbors MO!!

Why? Because they either can’t afford an attorney, or they do not believe that pleading guilty will harm them all that much.

Not having enough funds to hire legal counsel is common (which is why there are a number of programs, grants, and governmental agencies to help). But at the municipal level (which Bellefontaine Neighbors is, a municipality), there is no public defender (that’s only at the state and federal level). And most non-profit, legal-aid clinics do not offer criminal defense services. So that leaves you with either hiring a lawyer out of pocket, or going into court by yourself!

This is why our fees are kept so low for misdemeanor charges. We don’t believe someone should go without legal counsel simply because they cannot afford it. But we also do not think it is a good idea that you go and represent yourself. Why? Because people representing themselves end up doing nothing more than pleading guilty to the charge!

Why is this bad? Because a guilty plea will become a part of your permanent record as a criminal conviction. This means that anyone running a background check will see it plain as day!! And if you are applying for a job (or trying to rent an apartment), the potential employer will likely screen you out as a candidate!

But we have a much different plan in mind!! Our firm will answer all your questions, describe your full range of options, and help guide you through the process step by step! Sometimes this will result in a dismissal of the charges, other times we can get the charges reduced to a minor offense. Either way, you are far better off getting in touch with us!!
