Trespassing Charges in Taum Sauk Mountain State Park, MO - for as little as $450

Have you been charged with trespassing in Taum Sauk Mountain State Park, MO? Are you now in the process of figuring out your options and rights? If so, did you know that if you were to plead guilty to this charge, there will be long term consequences that you will have to deal with in the future? Was the ticket issued because you were caught in the park after hours? Or were you in a restricted area of the park? Are you familiar with the benefits one may receive from hiring an experienced attorney?

The unfortunate fact is that most people who go to Taum Sauk Mountain State Park MO and get a trespassing citation do nothing more than plead guilty to the charge. They do so because they have no idea that any other alternative exists. The problem is that once you plead guilty to a criminal charge, it becomes a part of your permanent record (in the form of a conviction). This in turn will make it very difficult for you when you apply for a job (because the potential employer will undoubtedly run a criminal background check), when you go to rent an apartment (for the same reason), and if you have a commercial driver’s license, you may risk having it revoked. This is to say nothing of the fact that trespassing is a Class B Misdemeanor (which can come with a potential jail sentence of up to six (6) months and a $500 fine).

But we have a much different plan in mind!! First, we will want to examine all the facts surrounding your case to determine if there are any available defenses you can assert. And at the very least, we will want to look into getting the charges reduced to a minor infraction so that nothing negative shows up on your record. And that is a far better outcome than the alternative described above!!
