Sunset Hills MO Criminal Defense Lawyer - just $450

1. Because if you choose to represent yourself, the court will treat you as if you have the proper legal training to conduct your case (just as if you were in fact a lawyer). In other words, the court (neither the judge or prosecutor) will give you any leeway just because you didn’t attend law school.
2. But if you were to retain the services of an experienced attorney, he or she will usually have a very good working relationship with all the players in the criminal justice system.
3. And frequently, a good lawyer can get your charges reduced to some lesser infraction (so that nothing bad shows up on your record); and every and awhile, the attorney can even get the charges thrown out altogether (depending on the facts of your specific case)

1. Because a guilty plea will allow the state of Missouri to put the charge on your permanent record
2. Your permanent record can be accessed by a simple criminal background check
3. So if you are applying for a job in the future, your potential employer will see it (and you’ll very likely be screened out as a candidate). The same situation would also come into play with regards to renting an apartment or applying for government benefits.

1. Only the state of Missouri (and the federal government) can issue felony charges; area muni’s can only issue misdemeanors
2. The more severe the alleged criminal behavior, the more likely it will come with a felony charge
