I wrote the check to the state for licensing my car. I did do it so I don’t see the point in an attorney because I have no good excuse. I am broke and filling bankruptcyand cannot afford another bunch of fees. I am employed. Should I speak with a criminal law attorney? I’m in Pettis County, MO.

If you have a criminal matter pending against you, it is always a good idea for you to consult with a criminal defense attorney. The reason is that in every criminal proceeding that has a misdemeanor or a felony charge pending, the end result as a penalty after a guilty plea or a conviction could be jail time.
If you cannot afford an attorney, you should advise the court of this fact and request the appointment of legal counsel to represent you.
Good luck.
