2. Clark, Martha: If you have been charged with a criminal offense, or received a traffic ticket such as a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) or DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or other violation you have rights that need to be protected. Many times there are time limitations to protect those rights. You want an attorney to tell you in a straight forward manner what your risks, defenses, and rights are in the criminal or traffic court. Rather than appearing in court alone, a criminal defense attorney can help you save time, money, points on your license, protect your insurance, and protect your freedom. You need someone you can rely on and who can advocate on your behalf.
3. Boedefeld, Christopher: Is This Your First DWI Arrest? The penalties for DWI become progressively worse with each subsequent offense. On a first offense, you may be able to get by with a suspended sentence or probation in addition to fines, a suspended driver's license and traffic and substance abuse courses. But if you have prior offenses on your record, you could be subjected to more serious penalties, including having an ignition interlock device installed on your vehicle. You could also be facing mandatory jail time.
4. Tierney & Westerfeld: * Speeding * Stop sign and signal offenses * Driving while suspended or revoked * DWI and DUI offenses * other traffic offenses If you have been issued a traffic citation it is very important to contact an experienced attorney immediately. Nearly every traffic offense can be amended to a lesser offense. Further, allowing traffic citations to accumulate can lead to the suspension of your license. It is also important that you do not merely pay the fine as paying the fine is the same thing as pleading guilty. Pleading guilty to a traffic citation results in the accumulation of points, which lead to supsension of your license, and could result in an increase in your insurance rates. If you have been charged with driving while intoxicated or a DWI it is very important that you act quickly and call a lawyer immediately. You have a limited amount of time to follow the correct legal procedures to keep your license from being immediately suspended. A DWI is a serious offense which can adversely effect your life for years to come.
5. Baerveldt Law Firm: Drunk driving defense in eastern Missouri isn't what it used to be. In the old days, you could usually plead a first-offense DWI down to a traffic violation with minimal consequences. More recently, you had a fighting chance in many cases to challenge the toxicology report to show that problems with your breath test or the machine's maintenance and operation made the evidence of intoxication unreliable. Not so any more.
