When facing a DWI charge, you’re not just dealing with the legal system—you’re safeguarding your future. I’m Scott A. Hamblin, and I have dedicated my career to helping individuals like you overcome these difficult situations. With over two decades of experience as a Fulton DWI lawyer, I’ve gained the insight needed to fight for your rights. I understand the uncertainty and fear you might feel right now, but rest assured, I take every case personally and fight for the best possible outcome for my clients.
Every DWI case tells a unique story. My primary goal is to understand your side thoroughly and craft a defense strategy tailored to your circumstances. From the moment you contact me, I focus on the details that matter—the events leading to your arrest, the officer’s actions and the integrity of field sobriety or chemical tests.
My prior experience as a prosecuting attorney has given me a deep understanding of how the state builds its case against you. This knowledge allows me to dissect their strategy, challenge their evidence and protect your rights at every stage. Whether it’s disputing the validity of a traffic stop, the accuracy of breath or blood tests, or the way your Miranda rights were handled, I leave no stone unturned in your defense.
I also understand that resolving a case doesn’t always mean taking it to trial. Sometimes, negotiating reduced charges or alternative resolutions is in the best interest of my client. However, if trial is necessary, I’m an experienced litigator, and I will fight tirelessly on your behalf in the courtroom.
A DWI conviction in Missouri comes with potentially life-changing consequences. Beyond fines and jail time, you could face a suspended or revoked driver’s license, increased insurance rates or even the loss of employment opportunities. For many, the impact goes deeper, affecting personal relationships and creating a lasting public record.
These stakes are high, but they highlight the importance of having a strong advocate in your corner. Missouri’s DWI laws are complex and constantly evolving, and attempting to navigate this system alone can quickly overwhelm anyone. That’s why working with an experienced DWI defense attorney is critical. I will help you understand your rights, make informed decisions and devise defense strategies that maximize your chances of a favorable outcome.
A DWI arrest doesn’t have to define your future. With the right defense, you can protect your rights, your reputation, and your freedom. I know how much is at stake, and I take every case personally. I’m here to provide you with the trusted guidance and formidable representation you need during this difficult time.
When you choose me, Scott A. Hamblin, you’re choosing a Fulton DWI lawyer who genuinely cares about your well-being and future. If you’re ready to take the first step toward protecting your future, contact my firm now for a consultation.
A Jefferson City man faced DUI charges following a field sobriety test. Charges against the defendant were dropped after Scott successfully maintained the client’s claims that the test results were inaccurate. While the client initially appeared to be in a difficult situation, Scott was able to push investigators to determine the sobriety test results as invalid, so the charges were dismissed.
A mother was seeking sole custody of her children following a divorce. The father refused to cooperate, leaving the client in a difficult situation as she felt as though her children didn’t have a voice. Scott recognized her need for an advocate and carefully listened to the children’s wishes, which conclusively helped the client achieve sole custody of her children and protected their best interests.
A client from Fulton was accused of drug possession as a result of a home search. While drug charges may potentially be filed as a Class C felony involving severe consequences, Scott was able to help the client receive a reduced sentence. Ultimately, the client faced significantly smaller penalties compared to the initial charges.
Scott assisted a defendant in a particularly challenging divorce case in which the other spouse was not cooperating. Scott was able to help the client avoid court through an aggressive legal approach to resolve all outstanding disagreements while maintaining the client’s long-term needs.
One client sought legal assistance after an altercation with another individual in Jefferson City. The client was arrested on assault charges despite allegedly not starting the fight. Since an arrest can lead to life-altering penalties such as being terminated from employment and serving jail time, Scott was able to build a solid legal defense in the client’s favor and argued in favor of the client’s innocence.
A grandparent sought visitation rights to his grandchild after the parent tried to block him. Scott takes grandparents’ rights very seriously, and so he devised a strategy to help the grandparent set a visitation schedule. Scott developed a strategy to show that the child’s best interests were fulfilled through the grandparent’s ability to visit the child, helping push the case towards a resolution in the client’s favor.
Scott assisted a client who was injured in a car accident due to another driver’s negligence. The defendant claimed that the opposing party using their phone at the time of the crash, and Scott emphasized this claim to show that the other driver was at fault for the client’s injuries. The case concluded with the client receiving the necessary compensation for medical bills following a long hospital stay due to injuries.
Scott and his office were so helpful, thorough and professional during a very adversarial divorce. He offers good solid advice.
