4. Kodner, Watkins, Muchnick, Weigley & Brison: Criminal Law When someone is accused of a crime, the need for a good attorney reaches beyond just a basic defense. In addition to questioning witnesses in court, an attorney should formulate sentencing programs tailored to a client's specific needs, helping defendants avoid future judicial problems. Also a knowledgeable, objective perspective that anticipates likely outcomes is vital for helping defendants make the right decisions for their future. Many criminal law rules are hidden away in court interpretations of federal and state constitutions, so familiarity with important legal rules, and court customs and procedures could make the difference for the future of a defendant.

7. Noble, Travis: Challenging All Aspects of Your DWI Case When arrested for DWI, there are always two components to your case Ñ criminal and administrative. Many attorneys only handle the criminal and a cursory handling of the administrative procedures. Prosecutors know that if you win the administrative hearing, they have a more difficult burden and a lesser chance for a conviction on the criminal charges.

You could: * Lose your license * Lose your job * Lose your opportunities * Lose your freedom * Lose your reputation
8.

9. Knappenberger, James: Missouri Drunk Driving (DWI | DUI) Criminal Defense Overview Drunk Driving (DWI) Felony Crimes Misdemeanor Crimes Traffic Violations Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) is the official criminal charge in Missouri for drunk driving, which also includes driving while impaired by drugs. This offense is commonly referred to as Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in other states as well as on national media. If you or a loved one has been arrested for DWI, it is important that you contact an experienced DWI lawyer as soon as possible. By law, you only have 15 days from your arrest to contest the automatic drivers license suspension. Every DWI charge has two separate aspects: a criminal case and an administrative case.
10. Gantz, Richard: Being arrested, even for a misdemeanor like a DUI or DWI drunk driving charge or a speeding offense, can be embarrassing. It can also have major consequences such as increased insurance rates, financial penalties and even jail time.
11. Cox, Christopher: DWI/DUI DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) and DUI (Driving Under the Influence) are some of the most serious driving offenses that one can encounter. These charges can have a permanent effect on your driver's license, insurance coverage, ability to obtain employment and ability to obtain many professional licenses. As a result, such charges must be dealt with immediately and aggressively by a competent attorney familiar with the laws surrounding these charges.
12. Lake Law Firm: You should consult an attorney for individual advice regarding your own situation.
13. David Shaller: Many people do not realize being arrested and charged with DWI or DUI in Missouri is more than a traffic offense...it is a criminal charge that can have severe penalties including fines, revocation of a driver's license and even jail time. In fact, some DWI or DUI cases can be filed as a felony crime. Ê It is important that you hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer to represent you in a DWI prosecution. Ê Missouri police officers will present the court with evidence to show you operated a vehicle while impaired (drunk driving, under the influence of drugs, etc.). This evidence may include: ¥ Police Observations About Your Driving ¥ Field Sobriety Tests ¥ Statements Made By You ¥ Chemical Tests (breath or blood tests) Field Sobriety Tests Field sobriety tests are designed to test the physical abilities and mental awareness of a driver suspected of DWI or DUI. Some of these tests include touching an index finger to the tip of your nose, standing on one leg while counting, walking a straight line, reciting the alphabet and/or counting backwards. If these tests are not administered correctly, the results may be skewed. An experienced DWI defense attorney will represent you to ensure you receive the best possible outcome. Ê Chemical Tests Chemical tests include testing breath, blood or urine for the presence of consumed alcohol. The goal of the test is to determine the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) in your system. In Missouri, a BAC or 0.08 or higher is legally intoxicated. However, people have been successfully charged with DWI or DUI with a BAC lower than 0.08. In Missouri, if a police officer can prove impairment, the BAC level is secondary. Ê
14. Andrew Tutuer: Separate and apart from the criminal charges that may arise out of being arrested for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or Driving under the Influence (DUI), a person arrested in Missouri for DWI or DUI also may be subject to administrative sanctions by the Missouri Department of Revenue Driver License Bureau, which sanction may include driver license suspension and revocation. After being arrested for DWI or DUI, a driver's refusal to submit to chemical test or breath alcohol test when requested to do so by a law enforcement officer may result in the revocation of the driver's license under MIssouri's Implied Consent Law. In short, "refusing to blow" may result in the revocation of your license for 1 year.
15. Thomas Sandifer: Traffic offenses include charges at both the municipal and state levels, such as speeding, driving while license suspended, driving while license revoked, careless and imprudent driving, and leaving the scene of an accident. Driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious charge that can carry felony jail time, depending on the circumstances.
