Carl J. Civella

When you are facing a DWI charge it is extremely important to choose the right attorney for you. I understand that you have a choice and I want you to know what I have to offer you.

• Over 17 years experience. I have practiced in the area of criminal defense law for over 17 years, with a focus on drug and alcohol offenses.
  
  
• Focused Area of Practice. You will get a lawyer who focuses primarily on DWI law. I have focused most of my resources toward increasing my knowledge in this area alone. In turn, I am thoroughly qualified to determine the weaknesses and defenses that exist against you.
  
• Informed. You will get an attorney who is informed on the latest technology regarding breath instruments. I annually attend DWI seminars across the nation. I am completely up to date on the latest laws and DWI defense strategies. In turn, giving you the best chance at attacking breath results and giving you an edge against the government.
  
  
• Former Municipal Prosecutor. As a former municipal prosecutor in the City of St. Peters, Missouri, I have had the opportunity to also prosecute DWI cases. Placing me in a very unique position.
  
  
• Personalized Attention. A DWI is a traumatic event for you, I UNDERSTAND. That is why I welcome questions and give you as much attention as you deserve and require. I make myself very available. I represent my client throughout the process. You will never have to worry about me passing your case off to a legal assistant. I promptly return calls.
  
  
• Impeccable reputation. The volume of cases I have handled along with having defended and prosecuted DWI cases, has allowed me to become well entrenched amongst Judges, prosecutors and court personnel.
  
  
• Going the extra Mile. When you hire me, you will get an attorney who will request video of the DWI arrest, who will visit the scene of the arrest, who will require not just the alcohol influence report, but also the maintenance records for the breath machine. Believe it or not, not all attorneys are this thorough and they need to be in order to defend their client properly.
  

...These advantages give my clients the best possible chance at a favorable result. PUT MY RESOURCES TO WORK FOR YOU!!
