Yes, you most certainly can!! A straightforward St Louis speeding ticket (that for all intents and purposes should be taken care of with relative ease) can absolutely turn into a nightmare for you! But the good news is that this kind of situation can be handled by our office with no problem! Below is a fuller description:

How does someone end up going to jail from a simple traffic ticket? Easy. All you have to do is ignore the ticket (don’t hire an attorney, don’t attend the required court hearing), and the judge will order a warrant for your arrest. Once the warrant is active, you could be hauled off at any moment (especially if you are pulled over for a routine traffic offense in the future).

And if you are in jail, then the only viable way to get out is to post a bond (which is essentially you paying a very large sum of money to the court to get you out). But we have a much better plan in mind!!

ONLY $150 FOR MOST ST LOUIS ARREST WARRANTS

Instead of dealing with the possibility of jail time, we would rather get the St Louis traffic ticket reduced from a moving violation (like “excessive speeding”) to a non-moving violation (like “illegal parking”). A non-moving violation does not come with any points to 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 will result in much higher monthly car insurance rates!! By as much as 35% more than what you are paying now (depending on how many points your currently already have).

All you need to do is give us a call!! We will take it from there!

Yes, you should!! It is amazing to me just how many people believe that a misdemeanor charge in Missouri is “no big deal”. As if such a thing becoming a part of your permanent record will have no negative consequence for your life (or that such a thing will increase your street cred). But the fact of the matter is, a misdemeanor charge can end up wrecking your life!! Below is a description of what can be done:

If you are arrested in the St Louis area, subsequently charged with a misdemeanor, then there are two main ways you can deal with it: 1) you can essentially do nothing, and hope for the best (like appearing by yourself and asking that the court extend some sort of leniency); 2) you can hire a good St Louis criminal defense attorney to help you out!!

Unfortunately, most people exercise the first option. They do nothing! But let’s say you have been charged with Disturbing the Peace. This is a Class A Misdemeanor that most cops will hand out like candy (especially when they have no idea what else to write up a ticket for). It can come with up to one (1) year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

PLEADING GUILTY IS NOT YOUR BEST OPTION!!

So if you were to plead guilty to this charge, you would have to deal with it forever. Every time you apply for a job, try to rent an apartment, take out a loan, etc. Why? Because each of those entities (employers, landlords, banks) all run criminal background checks.

What can be done instead? Our goal would be to get the charge reduced to something minor (like “littering”). This type of infraction does not show up on your record (so no long term consequences). And that is far better than dealing with everything described above!!

The affordable St. Louis criminal defense attorneys at The Bankruptcy Company have been taking care of criminal charges in Missouri for over ten (10) years. We specialize in making sure that your record stays clean, and so that you can move forward with life. And we want to do it all at an affordable price. The upfront fees for a misdemeanor charge start at $375. For certain felony cases, the fees are as low as $750. But the initial consultation to discuss your legal issues is free of charge. So contact us today to learn more!!

When you plead guilty to a St Louis traffic ticket, the state of Missouri will automatically assess points to your permanent driving record. This is bad because “points” are like little red flags that make it appear as if you are not a good driver. It is the existence of points on your record that will result in your car insurance exploding.

Instead of pleading guilty to the ticket, we would rather get the citation reduced from a moving violation (like “excessive speeding”) down to a non-moving violation (like “illegal parking”). The reason why we make this our goal is because a non-moving violation does not come with any points (and if you don’t have to worry about the points, then you don’t have to worry about rising auto insurance premiums)!!

But that doesn’t help if you have already pled guilty to the ticket. So what are your options in this kind of situation? One possible solution would be to file a Motion to Withdraw Guilty Plea with the court in which your ticket originated. If the judge is willing, he/she might grant this motion, and allow you to “take back” your original plea.

ONLY $150 FOR ST LOUIS ARREST WARRANTS!!

But the real questions as to whether or not this option is available would be the timing: if your guilty plea was eighteen months ago, the judge is probably not going to grant such a motion; but if your plea was less than thirty days ago, then there is a much better chance of the motion being granted!!

The best way for you to learn your options and rights is to speak with an experienced St Louis traffic ticket lawyer!! We can answer all your questions, and help guide you through the entire process from start to finish!! All you need to do is give us a call!

Yes, that is a possibility in some jurisdictions. The idea behind this policy is pretty simple: the court figures there is a greater chance of you not driving so fast in the future if the punishment this time involves some sort of jail time. Usually this is described by the court as “shock time,” and it lasts for a couple of days (like no more than 48 hours, and it can normally be served over the weekend so that it doesn’t interfere with your job). But a good St Louis speeding ticket can keep this kind of penalty to a minimum! Below is a more thorough description:

Let’s say you are caught going 92 miles per hour in a 55mph speed zone. This would of course mean that you were travelling 37 miles over the speed limit. In most municipalities and counties, the local prosecutors will not provide a recommendation to the judge (to reduce the ticket to a non-moving violation so that you do not receive any points to your permanent driving record) because of a local rule or policy.

Instead of working out a deal with the prosecutor, the next best alternative would be to do what is called a “blind plea” in front of the judge. This is where having a good St Louis speeding ticket lawyer on your side is so important!! An experienced lawyer will be in a much better position than you to convince the judge to give you what is called an “SIS”.

This stands for Suspended Imposition of Sentence, and it is the best way to stay out of jail. Want to learn more about the possibility of staying out of jail? Then you should give us a call (as soon as possible, because you undoubtedly have a court hearing coming up to address the ticket)!!

Because pleading guilty to a St Louis speeding or traffic ticket will allow the Missouri Department of Revenue to assess a certain number of points to your permanent driving record. Once points go on your driving record, then your auto insurance provider will jack up your rates (through the roof). Why? Because points on your record makes it appear as if you are a bad driver (and the insurance folks will use this as their excuse to increase your premiums).

In addition, too many points on your record can easily result in a suspension of your driving privileges altogether. This suspension can last up to a full year. And of course if you are caught operating a motor vehicle during this period of time, then you will be cited with a St Louis Driving While Suspended ticket.

So how do you avoid all of these negative outcomes? How do you make sure that a simple ticket does not screw up your life? All you have to do is give us a call!

Yes, you should! Why? Because when it comes down to a discussion of the facts, it will be your word against the police officer’s. And guess who usually wins that battle? Most juries and judges (and certainly prosecutors) will defer to the version of events given by the cop (and assume that you are making up a story). But if you have video-graphic proof of what happened, that is fantastic proof of what really happened!!

The fact of the matter is that when a cop fills out his or her police report, they are going to write that report in such a way that it makes it easier for the prosecutor to press charges against you. But just because the cop knows how to write a report that makes you look awful, it does not at all mean that those facts are accurate. Indeed, the way in which a cop writes his or her report is to purposefully make it seem that not only you broke the law, but that the officer didn’t do anything wrong when he/she arrested you.

But if you pull out your phone (or if you do not have access to a phone, perhaps someone with you does, like a passenger in your car) and start taping the encounter, the cop will likely behave in much more civilized manner. And if that cop violates your Constitutional rights (like by beating you for no reason whatsoever), then the images captured in the phone can be used as evidence against the cop.

PLEADING GUILTY IS NOT YOUR BEST OPTION!!

Of course, there are plenty of cops who, if you try to tape them, will grab the phone from you and throw it away (or destroy it later). But that is why it is so terribly important for your friends and neighbors to have their phone ready to begin taping.

I realize this is a bad set of circumstances (it’s no fun if you have to guard yourself against the very people who are supposed to protect you), but it is what it is. And the best thing you can do is make sure that your rights are not trampled upon!!

Absolutely not. The police cannot in any way, shape, or form require that you answer a thing. And in fact, it is very often in your best interest to NOT answer a cop’s questions (because in some situations, any answer you give will end up coming back to haunt you).

The job of a police officer (largely) is to gather facts so that he/she can determine whether or not a crime has been committed (and thereafter make an arrest, or issue a citation). And in order for the cop to make that determination, he or she will engage in the most fundamental of all police work: asking questions.

Of course, the best way for anyone to learn something is to ask questions (that’s a given). But what most people unfortunately believe (very often to their detriment) is that when a cop asks them questions, that they will be completely safe and secure when answering. But as a general rule, you should never think for a second that the questions posed by a police officer are in any way meant to keep you safe (and that by answering those questions, you are running the risk of much more difficult situation down the road (even if you are completely innocent)).

So what is the better course of action to take when dealing with a police officer? I can’t tell you what to do. But if I could somehow take my current clients back in time and have them follow a different route, I would absolutely without a doubt tell them to simply tell the officer, “I am not going to answer any more of your questions. I need to speak with an attorney.”

ONLY $750 FOR MOST LOW LEVEL ST LOUIS FELONIES

Once you say this, it’s all over. The cop is now put on notice of the fact that you wish to have legal counsel present, and that his questions are (for all intent and purposes) meaningless. Why? Because after you have made it clear that you do not want to answer any more questions, and that you furthermore wish to speak with your attorney (so that you can receive advice on how to protect your Constitutional rights), if a cop continues to ask you questions thereafter, the court has the ability to suppress any answers you do end up giving.

But the best way for you to understand your rights and options is to give us a call (right away)!!

If the court has assessed a fine in regards to your St Louis traffic ticket, then you will typically have thirty (30) to sixty (60) days to pay it off. If, however, you do not get the fines paid by this deadline (or if you have not set up any sort of payment plan with the clerk), then chances are the judge will issue a warrant for your arrest. But even if it gets to that point, a good attorney can help you out! A more thorough description is given below:

When you hire an experienced St Louis speeding ticket attorney to help you get your ticket reduced to a non-moving violation (so that you do not receive any points to your permanent driving record), the court will usually assess a fine of between $100 – $200. As mentioned above, the court will normally allow you a sufficient period of time in which to pay this fine (and even work out a payment plan if you need additional time).

But if the fine is not paid (and/or no repayment plan is set up), then the case will go to warrant status. This means that the police will have the ability to arrest you on the spot (especially if you get pulled over again, because the officer will undoubtedly run your driver’s license).

ONLY $35 TO HANDLE MOST ST LOUIS SPEEDING TICKETS!!

If your ticket goes to warrant, then we do have the ability to get the warrant lifted. We do this by getting in front of the judge who issued it in the first place. Once the warrant is recalled, then we can address the outstanding fine (and see about getting you more time in which to pay them).

No, that is not the case at all!! In fact, there is a good chance that you can get back out on the road driving with a valid license sooner than you think! But it requires that you get in touch with us as soon as possible. Because most jurisdictions consider a St Louis Driving While Suspended ticket as a Class A Misdemeanor.

First of all, a Class A Misdemeanor in the state of Missouri can come with up to one (1) full year of jail time and a $1,000 fine. And if you were to plead guilty to this sort of charge, it would become a part of your permanent driving record. In addition, the Department of Revenue would assess twelve (12) points to your 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 causes your automobile insurance to skyrocket (by as much as 35%, depending on how many points you currently have already).

ONLY $35 FOR MOST ST LOUIS SPEEDING TICKETS

So the best option available is to contact us immediately!! We can figure out why your driver’s license was suspended in the first place, then work out a plan to get the license reinstated. Once this plan is set into motion, we can negotiate a deal with the local prosecutor to get the ticket reduced to a non-moving violation.

Once the ticket is reduced in this manner, you will receive two benefits: 1) no points will go onto your driving record (which will ensure that your car insurance won’t go up); 2) you won’t have to worry about driving anymore on a suspended license.

Then each ticket will have to be dealt with individually (within its respective municipality). Why? Because St Louis has a system of government in which each muni has its own police force, courts, and set of rules governing how tickets are handled. This means that you will need a law firm that is familiar with each one (and preferably one that is on a first-name basis with the court clerks!!) As luck would have it, you have successfully found that law firm!! A fuller description is given below:

Let’s say you have a speeding ticket in St Louis City, a lane change violation in Berkeley MO, and another speeding ticket in Bel-Nor MO. All three of these municipalities not only has their own judges, prosecutors, and police; each of these muni’s handles traffic tickets differently!!

Some muni’s will allow an attorney to do all his/her work via fax or email; some will only allow the ticket to be handled by making the attorney personally appear (as is the case in St Louis City), and others will only allow the attorney to do his business by way of regular mail.

It is literally a hodge podge of a court system! And getting you way through it successfully is so much easier when you have an experienced St Louis speeding ticket attorney on your side!! We will answer all your questions, thoroughly describe your full range of options and rights, and help guide you through the entire process from start to finish!!

ONLY $150 FOR ARREST WARRANTS IN ST LOUIS!!

All you need to do is get in touch with us as soon as possible! Because the last thing you want to have is an arrest warrant from one these muni’s!!
