Woodson Terrace MO Criminal Defense Lawyer - just $450
- If you decide to represent yourself, there are many obstacles you’ll run into. The main problem you’ll have is the fact that the court will treat you as if you are in fact an attorney. The reason for this is simple: if you are acting as your own lawyer, then the court will regard you as one. In other words, neither the judge nor prosecutor will give you any leeway just because you didn’t go to law school.
- But if you have an experienced attorney fighting for you rights, there is a good chance that he or she will be able to get the charges reduced to a lesser infraction (so that nothing shows up on your record). And in some limited cases, we can even get the charges dismissed (especially if the arresting officer violated your Constitutional rights in some manner).
- The charge will go onto your permanent record
- Anyone will be able to see your record if they perform a simple background check
- This will have a tremendous impact on your chances of getting a job, renting an apartment, applying for a student loan, or from receiving governmental benefits
- If you have been charged with a felony, it was issued by either the state of Missouri or the federal government; local municipalities around St Louis are limited to issuing misdemeanors only
- Felonies are reserved for alleged criminal behavior that is severe and dangerous to either person or property; as a result, the potential jail time and fines can be quite stiff
