St Charles City DWI Defense Attorney

I am Douglas Richards, a St Charles City DWI Defense Attorney, who since graduating from Washington University Law School in 1986, have been helping and defending people who have been arrested and charged with a Criminal DWI Charge and the DOR Administrative Hearing Process that can result from this DWI Arrest for over the past 32 years.

In Missouri, the City of St Charles is located in an area where there are numerous DWI Arrests. Whether you were driving on Highway 70, Highway 370, Highway 94 or some other main road in the City of St Charles, the police are always on the lookout for impaired drivers. If you get pulled over for speeding, or some other violation, the police officer first asks to see your drivers license and proof of insurance. But it seems like the next question the police officer always asks you is if you have been drinking. If you say “yes”, or, if the police officer claims to smell alcohol, the police officer will ask you to step out of your car and have you do some Field Sobriety Tests. You think that you did fine on these tests. The police officer never said that you failed any of the tests. When the tests were done, the next thing you know the police officer tells you that you are being arrested and charged for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). You are thinking to yourself, “What is going on? This can’t be happening to me!”The police officer handcuffs you and takes you to the station. When you are released, the police officer gives you a DWI ticket, and a white piece of paper and tells you that your drivers license is going to be suspended in 15 days as a result of the DOR Administrative Hearing Process.

You maybe wondering what is the difference between the DWI Ticket and the DOR Administrative Hearing Process? Does this mean there are two (2) ways to lose your drivers license? (Yes it does.) You can’t have your drivers license suspended! You need to be able to drive! Then you start to wonder if you are going to have to put an Ignition Interlock Device on your car? Are you going to have to wear a SCRAM device on your ankle? Are you going to have to miss work to go to all your Court dates? Are you going to end up spending time in jail? What do you do now?

You may feel a bit confused and overwhelmed at this point in time.

The most important question you need to ask yourself is…

Which dedicated City of St Charles DWI Defense Attorney will give your case the personal attention it deserves?

With over 32 years of legal experience, I know how much a DWI Charge and the DOR Administrative Hearing can impact your life. My goal is to keep you from being convicted of this DWI Charge. My goal is to keep you from losing your drivers license from both the Criminal DWI Charge and from the DOR Administrative Hearing Process. Most people are under the impression that there is no way to beat a DWI Charge or the DOR Administrative Hearing. Wrong! But to do it, you need a dedicated and experienced DWI Defense Attorney to handle your case.

You need a St Charles City DWI Defense Attorney who is willing to look into ALL the facts, to look into ALL the details in order to find the exceptions, the mistakes that were made in your case by the police. And in every case, I am able to find mistakes that are made by the police. By pointing out these mistakes made by the police to the Prosecuting Attorney, I can show the Prosecuting Attorney that he has no case, or a very weak case, and this can serve as the basis to arrange for a plea bargain to a reduced or amended lesser charge, or even for the complete dismissal of the DWI charge itself. It is also these mistakes that serve as the basis for winning the DOR Administrative Hearing and stopping your license from being suspended.

Remember, police officers are just people too, and they make mistakes when they write up police reports. They make mistakes when they have you perform Field Sobriety Tests. They cut corners and do not give you the detailed instructions that they are supposed to do. They do not observe you for the proper time period before you take a breath test. My job, with your help, is to find these mistakes and to use them to our advantage so that you can learn from this experience and move on with your life. That is what a dedicated and experienced City of St Charles DWI Defense Attorney can do for you!I never charge a fee for an initial consultation because I understand that it is an important step in the process of finding the right St Charles City DWI Defense Attorney for you.
