Missouri DUI / DWI Services: The Guilfoil Law Group and the DWI Institute of Kansas City:

In all Missouri DUI / DWI or BAC cases, our attorneys vigorously strive to obtain an outcome which will at a minimum not result in a drunk driving conviction showing on your record. Whenever possible, we will avoid a driver having to plead guilty to any drunk driving offense. Our office also handles the civil driver’s license suspension portion of each and every DUI / DWI / BAC or other drunk driving case where we are retained as part of our fee.

In our attempts to meet the goals of effectively challenging both the civil and criminal portions of these cases, we prepare for these hearings differently than what is typical. Our focus is on thorough preparation through extensive investigation, interviewing, witness preparation, discovery requests and pretrial motions. In short, if there is a challenge that can be made, we will fight to preserve your driver’s license and your freedom. All of our attorneys are extensively trained in what to look for in such a case, so that if good facts do exist, you will not waive your rights solely because you hired someone that does not specialize is this type of work. With the penalties for Missouri DWI ever increasing, long gone are the days where the garden-variety DWI case is little more than a simple traffic ticket that can be handled effectively by anyone with a law degree.

There are many attorneys that will charge you a minimal rate to appear one time at a criminal hearing with no preparation or investigation, solely for the purposes of holding your hand while you throw yourself on the sword and plead guilty. At the worst, many attorneys who claim to do this type of work, even though they “plea everyone out” and NEVER try these cases do not even advise you of the civil driver’s license consequences of your case, much less take any steps to challenge or effectively represent you in the civil or criminal portion of your case.

While there are many approaches, we see it as our duty to you, the client, to thoroughly advise you of all the aspects of your case, and let you make the EDUCATED decision of whether or not you wish to fight your case after the facts are properly investigated. Each and every Missouri DWI case is different, and pleading guilty is sometimes the best option, but not ALWAYS, as where the availability of favorable probationary terms are available and you have really bad factors in your case. That being said, no attorney in our office will ever attempt to force you to plead guilty without a proper investigation into all the aspects of your case PRIOR to you making your decision about how to proceed. If the facts of your case warrant a challenge, our office is well equipped to handle your matter properly.
