Presenting Your Defense to Missouri Drunk Driving Charges
The trial lawyers of Dalton, Chassaniol & Bellon help people charged with drunk driving find ways to beat the charges or minimize their exposure to punishment. Our experience with the evaluation of specific DWI charges can help find weaknesses in the evidence that can open the door toward dismissal or reduced charges. Our courtroom experience not only can help protect your interests at trial, but can give prosecutors reason to pause before refusing to compromise or dismiss marginal cases.
Contact us in St. Charles for a free consultation about your DWI defense options. We work with clients facing all kinds of Missouri drunk driving charges:
- First-offense DWI
- Extreme DWI based on a blood alcohol concentration in excess of .15 percent
- Underage DWI or alcohol possession charges
- DWI cases based on consumption of illegal drugs rather than alcohol
- Repeat drunk driving arrests
- Felony DWI charges based on two or more prior convictions, including out-of-state DUI cases
- Felony DWI and related charges based on serious or fatal motor vehicle accidents
- Refusal cases in which the defendant would not submit to a blood or breath test
The strongest available defense in your case will depend a great deal on the specifics of the traffic stop, the arrest and the toxicology results. In some cases, we can develop evidence that will improve your position through the administrative hearing on your license suspension. Whatever the specific facts of your case might be, our goal is to minimize your risk of punishment while protecting your right to drive.

You should get legal advice about your DWI case immediately. You'll need to apply for a limited driving privilege shortly after your arrest in order to avoid an immediate license suspension. Additionally, your options for attacking the evidence or compromising the charges will be greater early in the case than they will be as a trial date approaches.
New Missouri DWI laws and penalties went into effect in August 2010. We can advise you about the applicability and impact of the new laws on your situation, and help you find ways to avoid the harshest consequences of the state's new drunk driving laws.
