The 15-Day Deadline Is Not Negotiable
Missouri law requires you to request an administrative hearing within 15 days of your DWI arrest to challenge your license suspension. If you refused to blow, you have a short deadline before your license is revoked for a year or more! After these deadlines, your license is automatically suspended OR REVOKED— no exceptions, no extensions. You need a DWI lawyer now!
A DWI conviction is not inevitable. Jeff scrutinizes every aspect of your case to find weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence.
Legality of the Traffic Stop
If the officer lacked reasonable suspicion to pull you over, everything that followed may be suppressible.
Field Sobriety Test Errors
These tests are subjective and frequently administered incorrectly. Jeff knows how to challenge them effectively.
Breathalyzer Calibration
Breathalyzers must be properly calibrated and maintained. Jeff obtains maintenance records to challenge the results.
Blood Test Chain of Custody
Improper handling or storage of blood samples can render results inadmissible in court.
License Suspension Hearing
Jeff files the 15-day request immediately and fights to keep your license valid while your case proceeds.
Negotiation & Trial
From charge reduction to full acquittal — Jeff pursues every available avenue to protect your record.
