Comprehensive Defense Across Missouri Criminal Law

Our Jefferson City criminal defense lawyers handle a wide range of cases under the Missouri Revised Statutes . Below are the main areas we serve.

Controlled Substances

Even a minor possession charge can mean jail time, fines, and a record that follows you for years. We defend clients across the full range of drug offenses.

DUI and DWI

A DWI arrest sets a clock running, with a tight window to act on issues like your license suspension before your case ever reaches a courtroom. We know the science, the procedures, and the defenses that matter.

Theft Crimes

Theft charges range from low-level misdemeanors to serious felonies, and a conviction can affect work and housing for years. We defend clients facing shoplifting, stealing, burglary, robbery, and other property crimes throughout Cole County.

Rape and Sexual Assault

If you have been accused of sexual misconduct, speak with an attorney right away. These cases move quickly and carry some of the harshest penalties in the criminal code, including lifetime sex offender registration.

Domestic Violence

A domestic violence accusation can affect your home, your job, your custody rights, and your right to own a firearm. These charges may stem from claims of physical harm, emotional abuse, or verbal threats. We make sure your side is heard.

Crimes Against Children

Charges involving children are among the most serious any person can face, with possible consequences like prison and lifetime registration. We provide thorough, careful representation and protect your rights at every stage.

Homicide

It is never too soon to hire an attorney when homicide is on the table. Whether police are still investigating or charges have been filed, we handle murder, manslaughter, and related cases.

Assault

Assault charges range from misdemeanor third-degree assault to first-degree felonies, with penalties that scale accordingly. We defend clients facing accusations of all kinds and work to put the alleged conduct in its full context.
