Can a Felony Be Removed From Your Record in St. Louis and Missouri?
In Missouri, a felony can be removed from someone's record under specific circumstances. This process is called a Felony Expungement, and several years ago, Missouri passed a new law that widened the scope of felony crimes that can be expunged from a record. This new law provides some hope for those who have been convicted of a felony because if they meet all its requirements, they have the potential for the crime to be permanently removed from their records. This means that whenever someone looked into their criminal background, such as during a background check for a job, it is highly likely the crime will not be discovered. We invite you to contact us if you are considering a Missouri felony expungement and have any other questions regarding this process.
Can You Get a Probation for a Felony in St. Louis, MO?
In Missouri, it is possible to get probation for a felony conviction. This is typically in the form of an SIS (suspended imposition of sentence) or an SES (suspended exposition of sentence). When you have been charged with a felony, it's possible, with the help of a top criminal defense lawyer in St. Louis, to work a plea arrangement with the prosecuting attorney assigned to your case. Combs Waterkotte has handled dozens of cases where the best possible outcome for our client was an SIS/SES. With an SIS, the client agrees to be put on probation for a specific period of time. If they successfully complete the probation, their felony conviction will not show up on their criminal record. In most cases, we have found the use of an SIS to be a very positive one for our clients. Although they will still be convicted of a felony and pleaded guilty, the end result is that their careers, jobs, and other negative consequences of a felony are diminished. Call us today to discuss your case and we can determine if an SIS or SES is a viable solution to your felony case.
