THERE IS ONLY ONE CHOICE WHEN IT COMES TO LEGAL REPRESENTATION. THE PEOPLE’S COUNSEL IS READY TO DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS!
When a municipality such as Ballwin Missouri decides to charge you with a crime, the wisest move you can make is to call The People’s Counsel. We will provide you with a thorough, affordable, and expert-level team of criminal defense lawyers (who will see your case through from start to finish).
If the City of Ballwin has issued criminal charges against you, it will be in the form of a misdemeanor (such as trespassing, stealing, or disturbing the peace). Even the lowest classification of a misdemeanor will carry potential jail time and a large fine. But even more troubling is the fact that if you are found guilty of the charge (or if you plead guilty on your own), this misdemeanor will end up becoming a part of your permanent record.
A criminal conviction on your record is exactly what our Ballwin MO criminal defense lawyers wish to avoid! Because once a conviction lands on your record, it will stay there forever (with some limited exceptions). This will have a tremendously negative impact on your future! For instance, employers, landlords, banks, and even some motels, will routinely run criminal background checks on all applicants. And once that conviction is noticed, there is a very good chance that you will be eliminated as a candidate.
BALLWIN MISSOURI CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER
And this is exactly why it is so terribly important to retain an experienced defense team to help you! Our defense attorneys will fight hard to ensure that your Constitutional rights are defended to the fullest extent, by using our knowledge and skill to do accomplish one of the following outcomes:
- We will initially seek to have the charges dropped (which is possible if, for example, the police officer who issued the citation performed his/her duties in an improper fashion, like mishandling evidence or conducting an illegal search or seizure). The only way for a criminal defense attorney to determine if such an outcome exists is by using good, old-fashioned hard work. And that is exactly what our legal team will commit itself to, starting Day One.
- In the alternative, we can work closely with the prosecutor to get the charges amended (in which your misdemeanor is reduced down a lesser infraction that does not become a part of your record). If we can keep your record clean, you will not have to worry about the negativity described above!
- We might also be in a position to have you placed on probation (instead of doing any jail time or pay any fine; once the probationary period is successfully completed, the original charge will not show up on your record). Sometimes the judge will agree to this sort of provision as a way to incentivize you towards good behavior. In other words, you will have the goal of staying out of trouble for one to two years, which is good for all parties involved.
- If no deal can be worked out with the judge or prosecutor, then we still have the option of taking your case to trial (which is rare, but still a possibility, and our team has had a great deal of success securing Not Guilty verdicts over the last ten (10) years). In a trial setting, it is the prosecutor who must prove every single element of the statute under which you have been charged, which is no small order. In addition, our team will provide evidence to show that the prosecutor has not met the necessary threshold to prove anything at all.
