Our Criminal Defense Practice
We handle the defense of all types of felony and misdemeanor charges, including:
- Traffic violations—speeding, reckless driving, failure to obey traffic signs/signals, driving with suspended/revoked license, or without insurance
- Drunk driving—driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI)

If you have been arrested or charged, your first call should be to an attorney. When you hire us to defend you, we will conduct a thorough investigation of the facts, evidence and circumstances of your arrest, looking first to make certain that there was probable cause for any search, seizure or arrest. We will read the police report and question witnesses to determine whether the police acted outside the scope of their legal authority. If your constitutional rights have been violated, we will seek the exclusion of evidence and/or the dismissal of charges.
If you have been arrested, don't talk to the police before you talk with us! We will take your phone call any time, day or night, 7 days a week. Call 660-383-4059 (toll-free at 888-698-1831).
