With over thirty years of experience handling a variety of municipal law infractions and violations, I am very familiar with the local courts. It is important to have a lawyer who truly understands the municipal court system, and how it differs from the criminal court. You face a different set of consequences for a different set of offenses, and when your future at stake, you need an experienced attorney to handle this matters quickly, efficiently, and discreetly.

Municipal Violations

It is important to take care of your municipal ordinance violation as soon as possible. With the structure of the municipal court system in Missouri, it may take some time to get relief, but takes a the sooner you call, the sooner you will have an experienced attorney working hard for you. I will make sure you meet all mail-in deadlines and have representation at any court appearances. The longer you wait, the more potential damage you may cause to yourself, and, unfortunately, the more damage you cause, the harder and more expensive it is to undo. I help clients with a variety of violations including:

  • DUI
  • Speeding Tickets
  • Bad Checks
  • Minor Alcohol/Drug Possession
  • Parking Violations
  • Housing Ordinance Violations
  • Fire Code Violations
  • Disorderly Conduct
  • Public Intoxication

I also handle some criminal cases involving child support enforcement.

Traffic Violations

Not promptly handling a speeding ticket can have serious long-term consequences. If you fail to acknowledge your traffic tickets and ignore the penalties, you could cost yourself more money and even lose your license. I can help you fight your speeding tickets and will work with the city attorneys to reduce charges as much as possible for your moving and non-moving traffic violations.
