About Christopher
I represent people in felony, DWI/DUI, misdemeanor, and traffic cases in St. Louis and surrounding areas. I work very hard for my clients and I try to ensure they understand their case, and the applicable law, before any disposition is reached. Please call me if you have questions; I want to help!
Practice areas
- 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.

- 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.

- 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

I contacted Attorney Dulle to assist a friend of mine with a legal issue. I was impressed with Attorney Dulle's expertise. He was well versed in the law, and also very easy to speak with about a difficult situation. I knew quickly that he was the attorney we wanted for our case.

Chris is as solid as they come.

Chris finds solutions for his clients that others would miss.

Chris is as well known and as well respected as any attorney in the courthouse. Works hard, hustles, and gets the job done. An attorney with real integrity isn't always the easiest thing to find, but Chris has got it. Can't go wrong with choosing him for your attorney.

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.

Chris Dulle is one of the hardest working attorneys in the St. Louis area metro region. He is a zealous advocate for all his clients. When I moved to the St. Louis area he was one of the first names that came up when I asked about respected criminal defense attorneys in St. Louis. Having now had the privilege of seeing him in court I can see why. I would recommend him to anyone facing criminal charges.
