How A Criminal Conviction Can Make Your Life Very Difficult

A criminal offense in the state of Missouri should be taken seriously. If convicted, it may have adverse effects in your life, such as:

  • This crime may show up on a criminal background check
  • Possible loss of your current employment and your reputation
  • Being subject to hefty fines, potential time in jail and hours of community service
  • The potential of being passed over or denied acceptance by future schools, employers and other organizations that review criminal backgrounds.
How A Missouri Criminal Defense Attorney Can Help

Remember, you are innocent unless proven guilty, and the burden of proving your guilt rests entirely upon the government. Furthermore, depending on the facts and circumstances of your case, it may be possible to reduce some of the charges against you to a lesser offense or complete dismissal of the case.

We can answer some of the questions you may have regarding your offense, such as:

  • What are the next steps in the legal process?
  • What are the chances of the charges being reduced?
  • Am I looking at jail time? If so, how long?
  • Are there any alternative programs to pleading guilty or going to jail?
