Our law firm has put together a guide regarding Missouri DWI. Although it was written by one of our attorneys, credit must be given to the many brilliant lawyers that we have had the pleasure of discussing this subject with over the years, and especially the attorneys at the National College for DUI Defense. It is from those people that we have developed many of our ideas concerning DWI defense. Please click here for information regarding the difference between a Missouri DWI and a Missouri DUI.

It must be stressed that none of the information contained in these documents should be construed as legal advice, nor does it create any attorney-client relationship between Norton Hare, L.L.C. and the reader.

Further, this information in no way represents the totality of the law and issues related to Driving While Intoxicated in Missouri. It is but a brief overview. It is certainly no substitute for the advice of an attorney, and no person should undertake the awesome challenge of a DWI defense case without competent counsel. Also, the law is constantly evolving and changing. This information is accurate as of January 2009. Please check with an attorney.
