St John MO Criminal Defense Lawyer - just $450
- A good attorney is going to know how to navigate the complex world of the criminal justice system (and will likely be on a first-name basis with both the judge and the prosecutor)
- Most attorneys will know how to negotiate a favorable outcome by working out a deal with the local prosecutor. If this goal is accomplished, then the current charges will be reduced to some lesser infraction (so that nothing bad shows up on your record).
- This is important, because most people who represent themselves do nothing more than plead guilty to the charge.
- A guilty plea will allow the state to put the charge on your permanent record as a criminal conviction. Your permanent record can be accessed by a simple background check.
- So when you go to apply for a job, your potential employer will most likely see the blemish on your record, and there is a good chance you’ll be screened out as a candidate for the position. This same idea would be true for renting an apartment, taking out a student loan, or applying for government benefits.
- If you’ve been charged with a felony, then it was issued by the state of Missouri (or the federal government); smaller municipalities around the St Louis area can only issue misdemeanor charges
- Felony charges are reserved for alleged criminal activity that is severe in degree and nature
