With over two decades of experience in the field, I have represented clients in a wide range of cases within the realm of criminal law. From assault charges to DWIs, I have handled diverse and complex situations. It is important to remember that being accused or arrested does not equate to being guilty.

Now, let’s address some frequently asked questions that may arise during this challenging process:
Should you answer questions if the police are here? It is generally advisable to exercise your right to remain silent and refrain from answering any questions without me present. Anything said to the police can potentially be used against you in a criminal case. It is crucial to have legal guidance before providing any statements.
What if the police want to search your car or house? Law enforcement officers typically require a search warrant to conduct a search, but there are exceptions. It is important never to waive your rights and agree to a search without consulting me first. I will ensure that your rights are protected throughout the search process.
Does it matter who you hire to represent you in a criminal case? Absolutely, it does. Not all lawyers have the same education, training, and experience in criminal law. It is vital to choose an attorney with the skills and knowledge to effectively represent you. With my extensive experience and dedication to criminal defense, you can trust that your case will be handled with the utmost care and skill.
If you are facing criminal accusations in Missouri, time is of the essence. Delaying seeking legal guidance can have significant consequences.
