Out-of-court contact with the prosecutor is generally restricted to electronic communications, as described below.  Since the prosecutor may need to reach you before court, it is important you provide up-to-date contact information with your submission; this includes your cell phone number and email address.

The Court Clerks nor the prosecutor can supply you with legal advice. Please follow the directions below concerning case disposition options and how to request those from the prosecutor.

PRO-SE LITIGANT INFO

Pro-Se Litigants (Representing yourself):

First, please ensure you’re reading the correct directions.  Your ticket/summons should indicate it is a Kimberling City Municipal charge, with  court being held at the county courthouse, 110 S. Maple Street in Galena, Missouri.  The charge would have been submitted by the Kimberling City Police.

Second, contact with the City Prosecutor is limited to this portal.  Once your submission is made, the prosecutor will reach out as necessary.  Do NOT contact the court clerks, city hall, or county prosecutor’s office regarding offers, as they are not involved in this process.  Again, if you cannot understand these directions/options, or cannot understand the legal implications of a disposition, you need to consult a private attorney or appear in court.
