Trespassing Charges in Bel-Nor, MO - for as Little as $450

Have you been charged with trespassing in Bel-Nor, MO (or anywhere in St. Louis)? Were you in someone else’s home or on someone else’s property when you should not have been (especially property owned by someone you used to be in a relationship with, or someone who used to be your friend)? Or did you stay on the premises of a commercial business after you asked to leave (like a local casino or bar)? Did you know that a St. Louis trespassing charge can involve jail time and a fine?

Fortunately, a Bel-Nor, MO trespassing charge can be handled by an experienced attorney. In a lot of trespassing cases, a good lawyer can get the charges reduced to something that will not harm your permanent record (like getting the charges amended down to “littering”). But the last thing that you want to do is to simply plead guilty to the charges of trespassing. It may seem like the easier route to take, but pleading guilty will allow the state to place the conviction on your permanent record. And once you plead guilty to the charge, there is virtually no chance to expunge (remove) it. In the state of Missouri, a trespass is described as a misdemeanor. If you are charged with Trespass in the 1st Degree, it is labeled as a Class B Misdemeanor (with the imposition of a prison term of up to two (2) years and a fine). If you are charged with Trespass in the 2nd Degree, it is classified as an infraction.

But the experienced St. Louis trespass defense lawyers at The Bankruptcy Company will look at all the facts surrounding your particular case and determine what sort of defense is best for your situation. For example, was the property (that you supposedly trespassed onto) enclosed with a fence or some other kind of barrier to keep people out? Or was there a sign that clearly indicated that the property onto which you were allegedly trespassing was off limits? Our team will examine each aspect of your particular case, and then work closely with the local prosecutor to get the charges either dropped or reduced to some lesser charge.
