See my Kansas DUI page if you were arrested for drunk driving in Kansas. A DWI/DUI charge is treated very seriously under Missouri criminal law. The penalties can be harsh, so it is important to have an experienced DWI attorney to help fight your Missouri drunk driving charges. And the time is critical. You have only 15 days to file a request for an administrative hearing to get your license back. So you need to act now in your own defense to have a chance to get your license back. In my opinion, people are arrested for drunk driving/DWI in Missouri far more often than is justified. Police officers tend to overreact if a person has had a drink or two, and may arrest you if they think there is only slight chance you might be impaired. That’s why I like to fight DWI charges. And I’ve found almost any case can be won.
