What Criminal Defense Means for You
A criminal charge is not just a legal issue — it affects your entire life. Even before a case reaches court, the consequences can begin to stack up. Arrests, bond conditions, court appearances, and uncertainty can all disrupt your daily routine. Having the right attorney early can make a meaningful difference in how your case is handled and how prepared you feel moving forward.
Your defense should never be rushed or generic. Every case is different, and every client deserves a defense strategy tailored to the specific facts, evidence, and personal circumstances involved.
Our Client-Centered Defense Approach
You are not expected to simply “trust the process” without understanding it. Attorney Eric Todd Ree believes strong defense work happens when clients are informed and involved. You can expect:
- Clear explanations of the charges you are facing
- Honest discussions about risks and options
- Strategic planning based on your priorities
- Consistent communication throughout your case
You are treated as a partner in your defense, not a spectator.
Felony Defense
Felony charges carry some of the most serious consequences under Missouri law, including the possibility of significant prison time and long-term damage to your record. Whether the allegation involves drugs, assault, or property-related offenses, your case demands immediate attention and careful preparation. Felony defense requires detailed analysis of evidence, procedures, and constitutional issues, all aimed at protecting your future and pursuing the strongest possible outcome.
Misdemeanor Defense
Misdemeanor charges are still serious and should never be taken lightly. Even lower-level offenses can lead to jail time, fines, probation, and a permanent criminal record. Attorney Eric Todd Ree works to pursue dismissals, reductions, or resolutions that minimize the long-term impact on your life, your employment, and your record whenever possible.
Expungements
A past conviction should not define the rest of your life. Missouri’s expungement process can be complex and confusing, but it may offer an opportunity to remove eligible arrests or convictions from your record. Attorney Eric Todd Ree helps you understand whether you qualify and guides you through the process with care, attention to detail, and persistence so you can move forward without unnecessary barriers holding you back.
Why Legal Representation Matters Early
Early decisions can shape the outcome of your case. Statements made, deadlines missed, or paperwork ignored can limit your options later. Having an attorney involved early helps protect your rights, preserve evidence, and position your case as strongly as possible from the start.
