Representation in Missouri and Illinois
When you live in the St. Louis County area, it is common to drive between Illinois and Missouri — sometimes multiple times in a day. Because of this, people who live in one state often find themselves involved in a legal struggle in the other.
As a licensed attorney in both Missouri and Illinois, I am able to handle all of my clients' legal needs. The drunk driving laws, in particular, differ from state to state. While Missouri has Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) laws, Illinois' laws refer to Driving Under the Influence (DUI). Please refer to my Illinois DUI page for more information. I have extensive experience aggressively representing clients against these kinds of charges in both states.
Contact me to schedule a free consultation to discuss your case. Whether you are facing a simple traffic violation, a criminal charge or a DWI, I will help you get through this difficult time and avoid a conviction. My office is open Monday through Friday, from 9 am until 5 pm, but I schedule flexible office hours by appointment.
