"THE NATIONAL TRIAL LAWYERS: TOP 100" MEMBER -- FIGHTING FOR INJURY VICTIMS AND CRIMINAL DEFENDANTS

-- Seeking Justice for Criminal Defendants and Injury Victims --

"If you've been charged with a serious crime, including DWI, and are okay hiring a cheap lawyer to walk into court, get a recommendation from the prosecutor, and plead you guilty - without conducting a thorough investigation, without aggressively defending your rights and protecting your interests, and without giving you the option of your day in court to force a prosecutor to prove the case against you, to have a chance to protect your criminal record, freedom, and life - then I'm NOT the criminal defense attorney for you.

If you're the victim of an automobile accident or other personal injury caused by some irresponsible or malicious person or entity, and you're fine hiring a lawyer whose only intention is to negotiate a quick settlement - even when this means accepting pennies on the dollar and preventing you from receiving fair compensation for your harms - then again, I'm NOT the attorney for you.

I'm a trial attorney, as is each of my fellow attorneys at the award-winning law firm of the Eccher Law Group. What this means is that my clients are not forced to plead guilty to a crime, or to accept a low-ball settlement offer for their injuries, because of my reluctance or fear of having to represent them at trial in front of a jury of their peers. I am ready, willing, and able to handle every aspect of a case - from start to finish - even if this means taking it to trial in order to demand justice for my clients. Based on my experience, I believe that this willingness and ability to competently and skillfully try cases also results in better recommendations (in criminal cases) and settlement offers (in civil cases).

If you're facing a criminal charge or have been injured by someone else - or know a friend or family member dealing with either of these - I welcome you to call or email me or my firm for a free case review. We'll fight for you."

The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely on advertisements. Past results afford no guarantee of future results. Every case must be judged on its own merits.

Review

I found Mr Eccher through searching for attorneys online. He was one of the most top rated attorneys and he showed me every reason why. My discrimination case he always responded immediately within minutes to any questions or concerns I had concerning my case. Mr Eccher is someone I would highly recommend.

Review for John Eccher

John did a great job in representing me throughout my court process. Very prompt and kept me updated. I would highly recommend him for anyone needing a lawyer in the future. Thanks John.

Excellent attorney - DWI and speeding case

John Eccher was superb from the start. I had both a DWI and speeding ticket 25+ miles over the limit. He was upfront about everything, made me feel more at ease with it being my first DWI, and kept in constant contact with me during the whole process. Unfortunately due to COVID things were a little more prolonged with the court, but John ended up getting the speeding ticket dismissed completely and exceeded my expectations for the DWI case. Very well worth having this attorney represent me and would highly recommend him and his staff!

Review for Mr. John Eccher

John was recommended by my uncle's friend. He really did a great job handling my case. He's always responsive if I have any questions or concerns. He's also very good in explaining things to make me understand the things that I needed to know. He knows how to lessen your worries and make sure that everything's gonna be alright. So thankful that I had such a great lawyer who helped and guided me all throughout the court process. I definitely recommend him and did not regret anything for hiring him as my lawyer.

Dwi Case

I was referred to John Eccher by a friend. I thank God every day that I found him. I was scared and worried. He explained in detail what was going to happen. What I needed to do and stood by me through the whole process. I completely trusted him. He went above and beyond what I expected. I was very angry at myself for having this happen. But extrodanairly grateful that I had such an experienced lawyer to guide me through. I wouldn't just recommend John. I would say "You need him!"

Excellent representation

He got my theft charge dropped to a trespassing charge! Very reasonable and quick!

Couldn't be happier with John Eccher's representation

John Eccher came highly recommended to me by a very prestigious law firm who was handling an estate matter for our family. He was not working for them (nor had he ever) which I thought meant he's got to be great since they are sending business elsewhere. I had been pulled over for DWI and other charges. Not only did he win my license case having the BAC thrown out he resolved my criminal case without a conviction or any license issues. Not even a speeding charge! Would I use him again? Yes! (Not planning on that kind of trouble again though) Would I recommend him? 100% Absolutely. Thank you John for working so hard on my behalf!!

Best DUI Attorney in St. Louis

John Eccher is simply the best option for anyone looking for a DUI attorney. After shopping my situation around to several different attorneys (all of which claimed to be unvaluable resources when facing DUI charges) I went with John and am thankful every single day that I did. While all the other lawyers suggested that I plead guilty, accept a fine and some driving restrictions along with community service, John did things I did not imagine were possible. His approach to handling my case was a little different than what I had expected, but in the end he was able to get me the very best outcome possible which was: 1) No probation 2)No license issues 3) No increase in my insurance costs 4) No device interlock 5) No community service. He even won my case and the judge ruled that the arresting officers had no probable cause to bother me in the first place! I was simply estatic, and continue to be impressed by his professionalism, impeccible dress, ease of communication, prompt response to my concerns, and likeability as a person. If you or someone you know is dealing with DUI issues, I simply cannot recommend John enough. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

DWI BAC Win

John Eccher and his team did a phenomenal job on my DWI charge. John aggressively pursued the best outcome for my case. He does not settle for unfair offers from prosecutors. He researched my case and discovered a technicality on the BAC draw that defeated the DWI charge and won the case. I would say most attorneys would not devote the time and research to discover this type of technicality. This was the first type of win ever in the state of Missouri and set precedence. John and his team are very professional and never let you hang for information and status of a case. If you want the best go with John Eccher.

Dismissed Case

I hired John a little over 2 years ago to take on the challenge of representing myself in a DWI case. He did so with confidence, and promised me he would do everything he could to get this off of my record. John not only held up to his promise but worked to find every last piece of evidence he could to prove my innocence. After many months and years of representing myself in court he was able to have my case dismissed. I now no longer have any pending charges against myself, nor a DWI charge on my record. I cannot tell you how thankful I am that I hired John Eccher as my lawyer. I would highly recommend him to any family member or friend that is looking for a lawyer in the future.

John is an excellent choice

John is an excellent choice for any DWI related traffic offenses. John Took the time to review my case and wonmy administrative side of my case and also got me an SIS on my second offense. Not just that he was able to get my first DWI expunged helping me avoid a potential felony!!! If you ever get in a situation where you need attorney John will be the smartest choice!!

The Best!

I was charged with a DWI and was terrified. I was lost and didn't know what to do. John was the second lawyer I spoke with and I instantly felt relief. He had my vote within the first minute of chatting with him. He was so informative during the whole time and immediately got back to me when I had questions and concerns. It felt as though he held my hand the whole way through. I highly recommend him!

Outstanding

Had nothing but good experiences with John. He goes to great lengths to get the job done, and makes sure you are aware of all of your responsibilities. He will talk to you one on one (in addition to others working with him on your case) and keep you up to speed. My advice is to take his advice. Give him what he needs, when he needs it (yes, you have responsibilities too), and he will bend over backwards to get the best outcome for you.

Excellent Service

I know a lot of lawyers, but I don’t know of one who works as hard for his clients as John Eccher. Without disclosing the details of the situation I was in, I can tell you it was a very emotional time for my family and I. When we realized it was time to seek legal counsel John came highly recommend not only by the community he has severed but from other law firms and colleagues of his in the St. Louis area. John walked my family and I through the entire process from start to finish and seemed truly concerned and happy to help us. As legal issues take time to resolve, John made us feel comfortable and confident with every decision we were faced with. What John was able to do for us only comes with experience and knowledge, and I believe no other lawyer in the St. Louis area can compare.

Sincerely Grateful for John, Highly Recommended

John was recommended to me through a friend who's also an attorney. I had asked my friend to help me on my case for a 2nd DWI but they said that if I wanted the best representation to call John. They we're absolutely right! From the moment I talked to John the first time he was honest, knowledgeable and trustworthy. He walked me through the entire process and kept informed any time something new came up. He also always got back to me in a timely manner, and was polite and helpful when we talked. A second DWI could have put me at risk of losing my job, however John was able to fight for me and eventually won. My DWI was entirely dropped, reduced to a C and I, with only 2 points on my license. I am now able able to feel safe and secure in my profession because of his help. I would highly recommend John Eccher and his entire team. I am sincerely grateful and appreciative of his hard work and effort on my case!!

Effective Representation - Highly Recommend

John was very professional, responsive, and ultimately effective as he represented me in my case. I was accused of a very embarrassing, yet very serious offense, but John was able to reach an agreement with the Court to amend the charge to one less serious. If not for John's expertise and effectiveness, I could have faced detrimental consequences financially, professionally, and personally. Thank you to John and his team for a job well done.

Extreme Relief

Mr. Eccher did a fantastic job handling my DWI case. He worked diligently to make sure that my life would be as little affected in a negative way as possible. He handled my case in a very professional manner. John also is more knowledgeable about DWI procedures than any other attorney that I know. John' best asset, though, is that he empathized with my situation and reassured me that he would do everything possible to help me with this situation. I truly believe that if I had used another attorney, the results of this offense would have been much more severe.

DUI and DWI Attorney | Jul 12
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Do you know what I admire? Attorneys who fight against false accusations and prevent false convictions. That's what Attorney Eccher does. He uses his training, knowledge and experience to maximize the chances of minimizing or eliminating the potential harsh consequences that often flow from the government accusing someone of committing a DUI. On a daily basis, he is there ready to answer "Ready for Trial" in these most difficult cases. He can help you and make a difference."
