Criminal Defense 45%

If you are suspected of a crime or charged with a violation of law, you may require the services of a criminal defense attorney to present your defense or negotiate a penalty. An experienced criminal defense attorney knows what information the government will need to prove your guilt. The defense attorney will also know what information you need to prove your innocence, including whether there are any legal rules justifying your actions.

45%
DUI and DWI 35%

If you are suspected of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you may be arrested for DUI (driving under the influence) or DWI (driving while intoxicated). A DUI conviction has serious consequences (for example, losing your driving privileges or jail); but an experienced DUI attorney can often get the charges dropped or reduced, or may be able to negotiate lesser penalties depending on your circumstances and your past history.

35%
Speeding and Traffic Ticket 20%

If the police give you a ticket for violating traffic laws (quite often for speeding), you may require the services of a traffic ticket lawyer to help you through traffic court. Traffic ticket lawyers know which people to talk to at court and the kind of deals they are willing to make. The traffic ticket lawyer will also know the specific types of proof the officer must submit to the court and when there is not enough information to support the traffic

Chris Dulle - the 3 P’s

Chris helped me with a legal issue. I’d never been in any legal situation before, so obviously I was nervous. When I hire people, I look for what I call the 3 P’s. Personal, patient, and professional and Chris definitely has all three. He made sure I knew what was going on and always responded to my... calls and texts. He also knew when I needed a laugh to chill me out, and then right back to business. I can’t imagine going through that Journey without Chris driving the bus. If you are looking for a lawyer that doesn’t care about big case or small case, all are treated with respect and professionalism, Chris Dulle is the guy you want standing next to you.

Earns his reputation

Chris and I consulted on a case and I got to see firsthand how he earned his stellar reputation for being personable, concerned about his clients' welfare and hard-working. He knows the law, knows what's possible in a case, and knows how to advocate effectively for his clients. I've known him for sev...eral years outside of that consultation and have always been impressed with how considerate he is and committed to causes he feels strongly about.

"I have known Chris Dulle since law school. Chris is one of the hardest working lawyers I have ever met. He will fight for a client long after most attorneys will have called it quits. If you have a criminal allegation against you anywhere near St. Louis and he is not your attorney then you have made a mistake. This guy is a legit legal warrior."
