Minor in Possession Charges in St. Louis, MO - for as little as $450

Most St Louis Missouri Minor in Possession Charges Can Be Handled For $450

According to the state of Missouri, a St. Louis Minor in Possession citation can be issued even if the individual is not in actual possession of alcohol. This new provision was added in 2005. Prior to 2005, someone under the age of 21 could only be charged with an MIP if he or she possessed alcohol (or had purchased, or attempted to purchase alcohol).

We Want to Get the Minor in Possession Charge Reduced So That It Does Not Show Up on Your Record

This means that a police officer may arrest a minor if the under-21-year-old person has: 1) a small amount of alcohol in his or her system; or 2) appears to be intoxicated. This is why the new law is sometimes referred to as “Possession by Consumption”. In other words, the officer can cite someone under 21 with a St. Louis minor in possession if they simply appear drunk or have a little bit of alcohol inside of them (without having to find them to be in actual possession of an alcoholic beverage).

Pleading Guilty to the Charge Is Not Your Best Option!!

This expansion of the law makes it much easier for the police to charge someone. In addition, the new law makes the consequences of a guilty plea more severe. For example, take a look at the following penalties for a minor who pleads guilty:

1st Offense: Thirty (30) day suspension of driver’s license.

2nd Offense: Ninety (90) day suspension of driver’s license.

3rd Offense (or any subsequent offenses): Driver’s license revoked for one (1) year.

It therefore makes much more sense to have an attorney handle the MIP for you. An experienced St. Louis minor in possession lawyer can wipe the blemish from your record (or get it discharged altogether) so that it does not interfere with a college application, or a student loan, or getting that first job.

I've used this firm twice, both for speeding tickets. Both times it was zero hassle: just a matter of giving them the ticket. I've also recommended them to my friends, who have had the same experience. (My friends and I speed a lot.) Highly recommended. I'm sure I'll be back. David Rieken
