Reviewing the evidence
A defense review may include the reason for the stop, officer observations, body- or dash-camera footage, field-sobriety procedures, chemical-testing records, warrant issues, and whether legal requirements were followed. Every case is fact-specific, and no single defense applies to every arrest.
Criminal and license proceedings
The court case and the driver’s-license process may involve different deadlines and decision-makers. Addressing only one side of the matter may leave important issues unresolved. We explain the proceedings, available choices, and next court or administrative dates so clients can make informed decisions.
Local counsel, statewide service
From our Clayton office, we represent clients in St. Louis-area courts and in Missouri counties statewide. We communicate in plain language and provide practical guidance at each stage, from the first appearance through negotiation, motion practice, or trial when appropriate.
Frequently asked questions
Should I wait for my first court date to contact a lawyer?
It is generally helpful to seek advice promptly because separate license-related deadlines may arise before the criminal case is resolved.
Does a failed breath test automatically decide the case?
No. The facts surrounding the stop, arrest, testing procedure, device records, and admissibility of evidence may all matter.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes. McClain Law, LLC offers a free 15-minute initial consultation.
