Legal Question in Criminal Law in Missouri

Should I get a lawyer.

I was in Kansas City Missouri a few weeks ago and arrested for urninating against the side of a building. I was bailed out the next morning. No one ever acuatlly told me what the charges were and I was expecting to get a fine. I have come to learn that I am being charged with Indecent Exposure. This is my first offense of any kind in any state. Do I need to be worried about possible jail time, should I get a lawyer or contact the prosecutor myself?

Re: Should I get a lawyer.

the success of the prosecution will come down to what a witnessw or officer saw, and what you said or admitted to. KCMO is reluctant to deal down most tickets. You will likley do better with an attorney representing you. But, there is no promise that you will not have to admit some violation in order to get a deal.

Good Luck
