Franklin County MO Criminal Defense Lawyer - just $450

Only $450 For Most Franklin County Missouri Misdemeanor Criminal Defense Is It Really Necessary That I Hire a Defense Attorney to Help Me?
  1. No, it’s not necessary. You can represent yourself. But the vast majority of people in this kind of situation end up pleading guilty. They do this not because they are stupid. Rather, it is usually because they do not realize that there is a different option available (or because they could not afford a high-priced defense attorney).
  2. But a good attorney will know how to negotiate a favorable outcome on your case (like getting the charges reduced to a lesser infraction, or in some cases getting the entire charge thrown out)
  3. And if the attorney is affordable, he or she can accomplish this goal at a reasonable rate (we only charge $450 for a typical misdemeanor in St Louis)
Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best Option!! What Sort of Consequences Is There if I Plead Guilty?
  1. The first thing that you should know is that a plea of guilty will allow the state to put the charge onto your permanent record (where it will stay forever as a criminal conviction)
  2. If an outside entity or person were to run a background check on you, it would show up
  3. This will would make things terribly difficult for you when applying for a job, or renting an apartment, or taking out governmental assistance
Can You Give Me an Idea of the Differences Between a Felony and a Misdemeanor?
  1. A felony charge can come with extensive jail time and high fines; felonies are normally reserved for conduct that is severe in nature and form; misdemeanors are generally of a lesser degree (like trespassing)
  2. If you are charged with a felony, then you know it is St Louis County, St Louis City, or the federal government; individual municipalities can only issue misdemeanors
