Frequently asked questions
What happens to my license right after a Missouri DWI arrest?
Missouri starts an administrative suspension separate from the criminal case — you have only 15 days from arrest to request a hearing to save your license. Talk to an attorney immediately.
Why is a DWI handled differently from a regular ticket?
A DWI is a criminal case with evidence (breath/blood tests, stop procedure, field sobriety) that an attorney must review before any strategy is possible. That's why we start with a consultation rather than a flat online quote.
Can a first-offense Missouri DWI be reduced or dismissed?
Sometimes — outcomes depend on the stop's legality, test procedures, and your record. Suppressed evidence or procedural defects can lead to reduced charges or dismissal.
Will a DWI stay on my record forever?
Missouri allows expungement of a first-time DWI 10 years after conviction if you've stayed clean. Avoiding the conviction in the first place is far better — which is why the defense matters.
How do I get started with a DWI case?
Request a consultation. An attorney reviews your arrest details, the administrative deadline, and your options before quoting the defense — no obligation.
