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!

Speeding and traffic ticketDUI and DWICriminal defense
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

Giving credit where credit is due.

First and foremost we should not break the law and drinking and driving is a bad idea. However everybody's story is different and mines will most likely be different than yours and I'll make a long story short I was looking at a Forth DWI and a felony with it. I chose Chris because of his high rating. I told him the truth about my situation and he took on my case. I was and still am absolutely impressed with his level of experience and his level of empathy. Chris Dulle and team got me back my license which is intertwined with a CDL I've been given one more chance to be successful at what I do for a living words can't even express how thankful I am to them.

Chris has been a life saver !

My teenage son received a ticket for going the wrong way down the street. It is considered a moving violation in Missouri. He is a new driver and the officer should have given him a warning. Chris was able to get this ticket changed to a parking violation, which kept potential detrimental points off his license and make his insurance rates sky rocket. Chris really cares about his clients and makes things happen. I will always recommend him.

Excellent Attorney

Posted by

I hired Chris to help me petition the court for reinstatement of my driving privileges after serving a five year denial for multiple DUI offenses. Chris was the first lawyer I spoke with and after interviewing several attorneys regarding my case I ultimately decided to hire Chris. The main reason I hired Chris is because of his candid demeanor. I met with other lawyers who didn't seem to care whether I won my case or not. When I was sitting across the table from him I felt as though he was being himself and that he was going to do everything possible to make sure we were fully prepared to win my case. After I hired Chris he walked me through the entire process of petitioning the court, asked me question about myself as it related to my case, and prepared my petition for submission with the court. I met again with Chris about a week before my court date in order to prepare for the court date by running through a mock hearing. Anytime I had a question for Chris regarding the status of my case he was quick to respond. I felt fully prepared and informed throughout the entire process while I was being represented by Chris. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris' services to anyone facing a five or ten year denial, DUI, or any other criminal offense.

I have a class b felony dwi . The prosecutor at that time offered 7 years. No probation. I would have to do 80 percent. After 4 years of negotiations and good timing. I went to court today and walked out with a reduced to a c and 7 year suspended execution of sentence and 3 year probation . I highly recommend mr. Dulle he cares about his clients and he will work extra hard until he gets the right plea for his clients.

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. He knows what he's doing, and he's easy to work with. I endorse this lawyer.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Chris is as solid as they come. Whether it is a complex legal issue surrounding a traffic stop, or constitutional violation of his clients' rights, he's knowledgeable of recent developments in the law, and, is able to communicate complex legal principles to colleagues and someone off the street. Chris finds solutions for his clients that others would miss.

Gerald Linnenbringer, Speeding and traffic ticket Attorney on Oct 30, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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.

Thomas Wooldridge, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 22, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter

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.

Jason Korner, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 20, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer.

Joseph Flees, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 19, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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.

Anthony Muhlenkamp, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 17, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Chris is a good and experienced attorney. He knows his way around the courtroom and does a good job for his clients. If you are facing a DWI or other type of criminal charge you would be in good hands with him.

Bryan Sanger, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 14, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Chris is an excellent Criminal Defense attorney in the St. Louis Metro Area. I recommend Chris for all criminal legal matters.
