DWI/DUI

Missouri Drunk Driving Defense Lawyers

Driving while intoxicated (DWI), also known as driving under the influence (DUI), is a crime that is taken very seriously in the state of Missouri. In fact, legislation is currently in process that could make penalties even more serious than they currently are.

As it is now, a conviction for drunk driving leads to penalties that include fines, community service, driver’s license suspension and the requirement to purchase special insurance because of the violation. And that’s just on the first offense, which will also lead to you having a criminal record because it is a misdemeanor charge. Repeat offenders are at risk of even more serious consequences and the potential of being charged with felony DWI/DUI.

The experienced criminal law attorneys at Whiteaker & Wilson, PC d/b/a Law Office of Stuart P. Huffman, defend people in Springfield and the surrounding Missouri communities against all misdemeanor and felony drunk driving charges.
