This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Don't waste your money.

If you happen to be traveling in the St. Louis area from out of state, on the interstate system and, happen to be pulled over for ANYTHING - realize you are in a complicated trap. For obvious reasons, I can not go into details here but, ALL involved in your 'incident' will be a network. If you fi...nd yourself in this situation, beg or borrow any $$ you can to pay for the best attorney you can from your original state if passing through. Yes, you will have to additionally pay their traveling fee but - though it is tempting to hire a local attorney who is in the 'click', they probably can get you off if able to pay $7,500 or more. But know, it still will not be favorable results, just you getting out by the skin of your teeth. Learn and Google what the ARDC is, you'll need it.

Best DUI lawyer in Illinois and Missouri

After a long gruesome battle of over 10 years, trying to navigate the legal system by myself, I finally reached out to Michael Reid and his team. They we're fantastic! They provided answers and clarity as well as positive direction. They were honest, realistic, empathetic and most importantly success...ful about every aspect of my case. Words cannot express my gratitude and relief to each of them. I HIGHLY recommend Michael Reid and his associates for your legal matters.
