Only $450 - Manchester MO Misdemeanor Criminal Defense

There are only a couple different ways to handle a criminal charge in Manchester MO: 1) you can represent yourself; 2) you can hire an experienced St Louis criminal defense lawyer.

Those are really the only two ways to go about it. And if you choose the first option (that of acting as your own attorney), there are several things you should know. To begin with, although the law does not require that you hire a lawyer to help guide you through the criminal justice system, the judge will absolutely treat you as if you are in fact an attorney. Why? Because when you represent yourself, the judge will draw no distinction between yourself and an actual licensed professional.

The other thing that you should know about self-representation is that most folks end up doing nothing more than pleading guilty to the charge. They usually do this because they feel pressure from the court to do so (and they don’t really know what sort of options that are available to them). And once a guilty plea is entered, it will become a part of your permanent record.

This is not a good outcome, because most entities run criminal background checks on people when they apply for a job, rent an apartment, or take out a loan. If a conviction shows up, then there is a good likelihood that you’ll be screened out as a candidate.
