Criminal charges are serious matters, even when they’re misdemeanors. A first offense for many crimes can result in up to one year in jail — or years in prison if it’s a felony. Even if the evidence appears to be stacked against you, a good Missouri criminal defense lawyer may be able to convince a jury or judge to interpret the facts in your favor and acquit you, or may be able to negotiate with the prosecution to reduce your charge or convince a judge to be lenient.
