Traffic Tickets
In Missouri, speeding tickets and other moving violations result in points being put on your license.  For example, convictions for speeding tickets carry a penalty of 2-3 points, and disobeying traffic signals gets you 1-2 points.   For a full, up-to-date list, click here.   Your license will be suspended for one year if you receive 8 or more points in a 12-month period, and revoked if you receive 12 points in a 12-month period.

If you have received a ticket for a moving violation, do not risk losing your license and seeing your insurance premiums increase.  With attorney representation you can fight the traffic ticket, and may even be able to negotiate the ticket down to a non-moving violation.

Driving While Intoxicated
If you have received a ticket for driving under the influence, it is imperative to retain attorney representation immediately.  A DWI conviction carries with it a number of potential consequences including points on your license, heavy fines, a license suspension, and even jail time.

Please note the importance of obtaining a lawyer immediately when charged with a DWI.  In Missouri, your license will be automatically suspended when you are charged with a DWI.  This ruling can be challenged in an administrative hearing, but it must be done quickly.  Depending on the facts of your case, you may have as few as 15 days to file a request for an administrative hearing.  If no action is taken, you risk losing your license for multiple years.

DWI charges should be fought aggressively.  If you have received a DWI please contact me immediately for a free consultation, so we can begin to formulate an effective defense together.
