Criminal Law

Columbia Attorneys Focus on Missouri Criminal Law and DWI Defense

When you contact Davis, Susan & Holder, LLC, about traffic violations or criminal charges, you can depend on having a rational, non-judgmental conversation dealing with the unique circumstances and facts of your case.

A DWI, MIP, MIC, or other charge certainly does not make you a criminal in our view. We encourage you to contact us if you have been charged with:

  • Liquor-related charges such as DWI, minor in possession of alcohol, minor in possession by consumption, use of an altered driver's license or borrowed ID, and nuisance parties
  • Any traffic charge, including driving under suspension or revocation, failure to have or show insurance, speeding tickets or other moving violations
  • Drug possession or intent to distribute a controlled substance such as marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, or prescription medication
  • Other misdemeanors and felonies, ranging from forgery, passing bad checks, stealing or theft, assault and domestic assault

Knowledgeable DWI Defense Lawyers Who Treat Students with Respect

While we avoid offering false hope in a DWI defense, we certainly don't subscribe to the attitude that every drunken driving arrest will lead to conviction. As a recent televised news series showed, the breath test equipment used in Missouri is far from infallible, and we have successfully challenged numerous procedures and circumstances in our DWI defense work. We will subpoena videos, blood test results, and other evidence if fighting your charge is a viable option.

We have provided many students with aggressive DWI defense, so we fully understand your concerns about minimizing the impact on your criminal record and future employment options.

As you may already know, if you are under 21, you can lose your driver's license for operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) as low as 0.02. These Abuse and Lose provisions in Missouri Law - sometimes called Zero Tolerance - can make it especially important for any minor facing alcohol or drug charges to work with an experienced attorney to understand all legal requirements and minimize consequences.

When defending you against any criminal charge, we prioritize your specific concerns and goals. Where appropriate, we work with counselors on referrals to rehabilitation programs and other options that may minimize your other consequences and serve the best interest of our clients. Contact our attorneys to discuss your case today.

An experienced attorney can help you minimize the consequences of a criminal charge. We offer student discounts and payment plans, and we also accept credit cards.
