Riverview MO Criminal Defense Lawyer - just $450
- If you decide to represent yourself, the court will treat you as if you are a lawyer. The judge and prosecutor will not give you any leeway just because you haven’t gone to law school. They will expect you to understand the law and how the criminal justice system works. However, most people representing themselves will end up pleading guilty (mainly because they do not realize there are any other options available)
- But an experienced attorney will protect your rights and interests to the fullest! In most cases, we can get the charge reduced to a lesser infraction (so that nothing negative shows up on your record); and in some situations, we can even get the charge thrown out altogether (depending on the facts of your case)
- The charge would become a part of your permanent record (and would show up as a criminal conviction)
- This would allow anyone running a simple background check to see it
- And if you go to apply for a job (or rent an apartment, or seek governmental assistance), you’ll likely be screened out as a candidate
- The only entity that can issue a felony is the state of Missouri (and the federal government); smaller municipalities are limited to issuing misdemeanors only
- Felonies are reserved for behavior that is far more severe in nature; misdemeanors are less severe (but come with significant jail sentences nevertheless)
