MOST MISDEMEANOR CAN BE HANDLED FOR ONLY $375
The answer to this question depends on a number of factors. For instance, if your prior convictions were more recent, that could cut against your favor. But just because you have a criminal record does not mean that there isn’t anything that can be done about your current charges.
If you have had prior Missouri criminal charges, then there is a good chance that you worked out some sort of deal with the local prosecutor (i.e. a plea bargain). This likely would have entailed the prior charges being dropped to some lesser infraction (like “littering”). The lesser infraction would not have even shown up on your record, and as a result, it would have been as if the charge was never incurred.
Assuming that was the case, then a more recent charge might not be all that bad. The prosecutor will of course have access to your prior record (even if it was amended down), but at least there will be no conviction on your permanent record. This will allow your St. Louis criminal defense attorney a chance to perhaps work something similar out with the prosecutor again.
PLEADING GUILTY TO THE CHARGE IS NOT YOUR BEST OPTION!!
But let’s say that you did not get the prior charge reduced. Let’s say you instead plead guilty. Then it is going to depend greatly on how recently those charges were incurred.
