Only $450 To Handle Most St. Charles, MO Misdemeanor Marijuana Possession Charges

When you plead guilty to a St. Charles MO marijuana possession charge, do you know what the ultimate consequences of this decision will be?

1. Your permanent record will get hit with a drug conviction
2. If someone does a criminal background check on you, they will see the conviction
3. This will in turn make it far more difficult for you to get a job (or even rent an apartment)
4. And if you are currently receiving governmental benefits (like food stamps or unemployment benefits), then those benefits could be revoked

If you are wanting avoid these negative outcomes, here are some things that a good St. Charles MO marijuana attorney can do for you:

1. Your St. Charles criminal defense attorney can examine all of the facts of your case to see about getting the charges dropped
2. The lawyer can also work hard to get the charges reduced to a minor infraction (like “littering”)
3. And at the very least, he or she can work out an SIS (suspended imposition of sentence) with the court, which would involve a period of probation

As of January 1, 2017, the following laws regarding marijuana possession went into effect:

1. If you are caught with less 10 grams of marijuana, it is a Class D Misdemeanor (unless you’ve already been convicted on a prior possession charge, in which case it would be a Class A Misdemeanor)
2. If you are caught with between 10 – 35 grams, it is a Class A Misdemeanor
3. If you are caught with between 35 grams – 30 kilograms, it is a Class C Felony

But what you want to avoid is pleading guilty!! Because if you make such a plea, there is nothing you can do about it later. It will become a permanent mark on you record, and will have damaging effects on your future.
