Our office is located in downtown Clayton, right across the street from the St. Louis County Courthouse. We've been defending clients for 23 years. We have represented 1,000s of clients over the years on charges as varied as shoplifting and DWI to Drug Trafficking and Murder. We represent clients all over the state of Missouri including St. Louis County, St. Louis City, St. Charles County, Jefferson County, Franklin County, Lincoln County, Phelps County, Pulaski County, St. Francois County, Ste. Genevieve County, Crawford County, Audrain County, and Webster County. I love my job and surround myself with the highest quality of work staff. Since graduating from law school in 1997, it has been my life's work defending people accused of crimes.
Being unfairly accused of a crime and facing a long prison sentence is possibly anyone's worst nightmare. This is NOT something you have to face alone. You need a strong advocate to defend your rights and guide you through this harrowing process.
I understand that taking that first step and contacting an attorney can be a very frightening and embarrassing proposition. My law firm attempts to relieve some of that anxiety with an abundant focus towards compassion and discretion. You can talk to me. I will hold your hand through this difficult time.
If you have been accused of a misdemeanor or a felony,...
if you are on probation and your probation officer is trying to revoke your probation...
if you need your bond lowered...
if you have been arrested and need to get out of jail...
if you have an outstanding warrant and you don't know what to do...
if you have wanted for questioning and the police want to talk to you...
if you are having problems with a criminal background check...
if you are battling an addiction and need treatment...
Please call my office at 314-862-7277 or my cell phone at 314-602-0826.
We can help you through this.
