DWI/DUI Defense

Drunk Driving Defense - Minor in Possession - Felony DWI/DUI

Conviction on any Missouri drunk driving charge can cause significant problems that can continue far beyond the fines, license suspension and possible jail terms involved with the immediate offense. The effect on your future auto insurance premiums, professional licensing considerations, and exposure to more serious punishment on a future conviction should also factor into your decision of whether to plead guilty or fight the charge. You must act quickly, because the legal consequences of drunk driving charges start as quickly as 15 days after the traffic stop. To learn more about our experience with the effective resolution of DWI/DUI charges in the St. Louis area and throughout the state, contact one of our defense attorneys in St. Louis.

Our defense lawyers can also help you resolve DWI/DUI problems relating to the suspension and reinstatement of your driver's license, obtaining restricted driving privileges after a short suspension, referral to SR-22 high-risk insurance pools, or such conditions of reinstatement as substance abuse treatment.

We represent drunk driving clients in both the criminal proceedings resulting from the DWI/DUI arrest and in the administrative proceedings concerning your driver's license before the Missouri Department of Revenue.
