About DWI/DUI

DWI/DUI stands for driving while intoxicated (DWI) or driving under the influence (DUI) and refers to operating a motor vehicle while driving under the influence of either alcohol or some other intoxicant such that the operator is impaired.

According to the State of Missouri, there is an administrative case and a criminal case that exist when you receive a citation for a DWI or DUI.

Following a DWI or DUI, the administrative case affects your driver’s license and may result in a suspension or revocation of your driving privileges. You must act quickly in order to preserve your rights in the administrative case, so contact a lawyer immediately. Make sure you read the paperwork that you receive, because it will inform you of any deadlines that apply to your administrative case.

Following a DWI or DUI, the criminal case affects your criminal record, and it may also affect your driver’s license if you are convicted. A lawyer will assist you in reviewing the evidence that the prosecution has and will help you make an educated decision on how to proceed.
An attorney will meet with you to review your case and the evidence the prosecution has against you. The burden of proving a violation is on the prosecution. You have certain rights that law enforcement cannot violate, and if these rights are violated, an attorney can help you point it out to the judge and suppress any unlawfully obtained evidence.

Additionally, attorneys can work with prosecutors to attempt to negotiate any offers or pleas in your DWI or DUI case to avoid a criminal record by taking into consideration your background and qualities as an individual. If this proves impossible, the attorney can help you present your qualities to a judge and seek leniency from the court whether or not the case is presented through a trial or a plea.

A DWI or DUI lawsuit can be very complex, and it is imperative that you seek a qualified attorney to represent you in wake of a DWI or DUI.

About Traffic Law

Traffic law cases include any traffic violation such as a speeding ticket, careless and imprudent/reckless driving, running a stop sign or a red light, failing to maintain your lane, failing to signal, etc.

Points are assessed against your license when you receive moving violations, such as speeding. If you receive too many points within a certain time frame, you will lose your license. As your points increase, you will also receive less leniency in any future traffic violations. Additionally, insurance companies often increase your insurance premiums in the case of too many points on your license.

Traffic violation cases can get very complex, and it is imperative that you seek a qualified lawyer and law firm in wake of a traffic violation.
