Resolving Your DWI Case as Favorably as Possible
Drunk driving defense in eastern Missouri isn't what it used to be. In the old days, you could usually plead a first-offense DWI down to a traffic violation with minimal consequences. More recently, you had a fighting chance in many cases to challenge the toxicology report to show that problems with your breath test or the machine's maintenance and operation made the evidence of intoxication unreliable. Not so any more.
DWI defense today is mainly an exercise in damage control, except under unusual circumstances. At the Baerveldt Law Firm in St. Charles, we use our experience with the defense of people facing DWI charges to seek to resolve your case on the best terms possible.

Attorney Baerveldt will analyze the circumstances of your arrest and the evidence against you to see if there's anything to be gained by fighting the charge on the merits. If there is not a realistic chance of defeating the case on the merits, he won't pretend that there is. He’ll turn his attention instead to minimizing the consequences that you may face.
Attorney Baerveldt goes to work with the prosecution in an effort to minimize your exposure to punishment. The amount of a fine, the length of a license suspension and the conditions for a restricted driver's license may be negotiable.
Attorney Baerveldt will use his experience with DWI defense in Greater St. Louis and eastern Missouri to seek any alternative punishments that may be available, and to try to keep the consequences to a minimum.
