The
attorneys at the
Guilfoil Law Group vigorously defend their clients against drunk driving charges. Those attorneys strive to obtain the very best outcome possible, and at the very least obtain a result that will prevent a drunk driving conviction from showing on your record.
Whenever possible, the attorneys strive to avoid having a client plead guilty to a drunk driving charge.
At
Guilfoil Law Group, our attorneys also represent people in civil driver's license challenges. The civil driver's license portion of drunk driving or blood alcohol concentration violation involves license suspension. We help our clients fight driver's license suspension to save their driving privileges.
At
Guilfoil Law Group, our attorneys meet the goals of challenging both the civil and critical aspects of drunk driving cases by preparing for those hearings as if they will be challenged, and not just for a "walk through" to process your case.
Our focus is on thorough preparation through extensive investigation, interviewing, witness preparation, discovery requests and pretrial motions. In short, if there is a challenge that can be made, we will fight to preserve your driver’s license and your freedom.
All of our attorneys are extensively trained in what to look for in such a case, so that if good facts do exist, you will not waive your rights solely because you hired someone that does not specialize is this type of work. With the penalties for Missouri DWI ever increasing, long gone are the days where the garden-variety DWI case is little more than a simple traffic ticket that can be handled effectively by anyone with a law degree.
There are many attorneys that will charge you a minimal rate to appear one time at a criminal hearing with no preparation or investigation, solely for the purposes of holding your hand while you throw yourself on the sword and plead guilty. At the worst, many attorneys who claim to do this type of work, even though they “plea everyone out” and NEVER try these cases, do not even advise you of the civil driver’s license consequences of your case, much less take any steps to challenge or effectively represent you in the civil or criminal portion of your case.
While there are many approaches, we see it as our duty to you, the client, to thoroughly advise you of all the aspects of your case, and let you make the EDUCATED decision of whether or not you wish to fight your case after the facts are properly investigated. Each and every Missouri DWI case is different, and pleading guilty is sometimes the best option, but not ALWAYS, as where the availability of favorable probationary terms are available and you have really bad factors in your case. That being said, no attorney in our office will ever attempt to force you to plead guilty without a proper investigation into all the aspects of your case PRIOR to you making your decision about how to proceed. If the facts of your case warrant a challenge, our office is well equipped to handle your matter properly.
