ONLY $375 ATTORNEY FEES FOR MOST ST LOUIS MISDEMEANORS

I get this question a lot, and I always have the same answer: whatever you say to the police can and/or will be used against you. Just because the cop acts like he is your friend, or if he/she tries to make you believe that “nothing bad will happen by giving me this information,” or anything else, does not at all mean that the cop has good intentions towards you.

So what should you do instead? If you believe that by speaking to a police officer your rights would be compromised (or that you would be placed in a bad position), then do not say anything. It’s as simple as that. The cop can’t force you to speak, and the law protects your right to remain silent (especially when someone in a position of authority is trying to get information out of you that could shed a bad light on you).

ONLY $375 ATTORNEY FEES FOR A ST LOUIS MISDEMEANOR CHARGE

Getting a St Louis criminal charge reduced depends on two main factors: 1) the municipality in which the charge has been made (there is a huge difference between how things are handled in St Louis County versus St Louis City; 2) the type of charge it is (because there is also a really big difference between a common trespassing charge versus a heroin possession charge). But regardless, the main goal is to see if in fact a reduction / amendment of the charges can be had. A further explanation is provided below:

Let’s say you have been charged with possession of marijuana (less than 35 grams). This is a Class A Misdemeanor. Such a charge comes with a potential of one (1) year in jail and a $1,000 fine. But instead of having to do any jail time, you hire an experienced St Louis marijuana possession attorney to help you out.

ONLY $185 FOR MOST ST LOUIS DRIVING WHILE SUSPENDED TICKETS

Mainly because a St Louis driving while suspended is not a regular traffic ticket. Rather, it is a Class A Misdemeanor. This type of charge comes with a maximum penalty of up to one (1) year in jail and a $1,000 fine. So yes, it is a very big deal.

Not only is the potential sentence steep, there is also the number of points that come with such a charge. If you were to plead guilty to this kind of ticket, the state of Missouri will assess twelve (12) points to your permanent driving record. “Points” are like little red flags that make it appear as if you are a bad driver. When you have points on your record, the car insurance company you use will jack your monthly rates up through the roof.

ONLY $35 FOR A STANDARD ST LOUIS SPEEDING TICKET

If you receive a St Louis traffic ticket when you are involved in an accident, then it is probably a “Following Too Close” infraction. This would especially be the case if you were found to be at fault for the accident. Below is more information related to this type of situation:

In a normal traffic ticket scenario, our main goal would be to get the ticket reduced from a moving violation down to a non-moving violation. This is a desirable outcome, because a non-moving violation does not come with any points on your permanent driving record. “Points” are like little red flags that make it appear as if you are a bad driver. It is the existence of points on your record that leads to a dramatic increase in your monthly car insurance rates.

ONLY $35 FOR MOST ST LOUIS SPEEDING TICKETS

Getting points from a St Louis traffic ticket on your permanent driving record is bad for a number of reasons. Namely, it is the existence of points that will cause your automobile insurance to go through the roof. And if you get too many points (over a short period of time), you can actually lose your driving privileges altogether!!

If you plead guilty to a traffic or speeding ticket in the St Louis area, the that will allow the state of Missouri to assess a certain number of points to your record. “Points” are like little red flags that make it appear as if you are a bad driver (and the more points you accrue, the worse it looks). In response to the points you receive, your car insurance company will jack up your monthly rates (by as much as 35%)!!

Yep! They sure can (and most certainly will) do that. Why? Because making you believe something in order to get some info is what they consider to be part of their job. And they can be very tricky about it.

For example, if you have been detained by a police officer, and he/she is asking you questions about your whereabouts (or who you know, or what happened at such and such time, or whatever), and the cop tells you something like, “Don’t worry, it’s not going to hurt you if you tell me,” or “If you give me this information, I’ll make sure the prosecutor goes light on you,” or “If you tell me what I need to know, you won’t get in any trouble,” or “I just need you sign this waiver, and then we can figure out how to get you out of the fix you’re in,” then you can be almost 100% assured that the officer is lying.

Regardless of how old your arrest warrant might be, it will still have the same effect: if you are pulled over in the future, the cop is going to run your driver’s license and see the warrant, and he/she will very likely haul you off to jail.

But it doesn’t have to end up going that way!! We have a much better solution to the problem! Our goal would be to get the warrant recalled. We do this by getting in front of the judge that issued the warrant in the first place.

Once the warrant is lifted, a new court date will be set. Why? Because the underlying ticket you received way back when will still need to be resolved (the very same ticket that resulted in the warrant in the first place). And if the underlying ticket is not resolved, then it will go right back to warrant status.

ONLY $35 FOR MOST ST LOUIS SPEEDING TICKETS

The way in which St Louis speeding tickets are reduced is by an attorney working out a deal with the local prosecutor. This deal (which is commonly referred to as a “recommendation”) is the best bet to eliminate any points from becoming a part of your permanent driving record. Below is a brief description of how this process works:

Let’s say you have a speeding ticket somewhere in the St Louis area. If you were to plead guilty to the ticket (by simply paying the associated fine listed on the back), then the state of Missouri will assess a certain number of points (at least 2) to your driving record. If you have points on your record, then your automobile insurance provider will raise your monthly rates through the roof (by as much as 30%). And if you get too many points (especially within a short period of time), then you could actually lose your driving privileges altogether.

Yep, absolutely true. Why? Because a guilty plea on a St Louis speeding ticket will result in points being assessed to your permanent driving record. And when your automobile insurance provider sees this, your monthly rates will go through the roof.

A recent study conducted by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch found that pleading guilty to a traffic ticket will raise your monthly premiums on average of 22%. And if you plead guilty to a subsequent ticket after that, your car insurance will jump up by an average of 53%. That’s a substantial increase in your monthly bills!!

And not only will your insurance costs go up, you also run the risk of losing your driving privileges (especially if you have received too many points within a short period of time). This suspension could last for up to a year.

ONLY $35 TO FIX MOST ST LOUIS SPEEDING TICKETS

Yes, there is a difference between getting pulled over by a regular local cop (and receiving a St Louis speeding ticket) and a highway patrolman. The most obvious would be that the highway patrol officer is only going to stop you on the interstate highway system. But there is a very big difference in the way the ticket is handled. A brief description of that difference is included below:

If you are pulled over for speeding, the highway patrolman will write you out a standard ticket. But you will notice at the top of the ticket it will state: FCC. This stands for “Fines Collection Center,” which is the department in Jefferson City, MO, which handles all highway traffic infractions.
