Most Kansas City DUI ordinance cases are handled in the Kansas City Municipal Court. The court is at 511 E. 11th Street, Kansas City, MO 64106, and you should always verify your courtroom and date on your citation or notice. Some arrests may be filed in the 16th Judicial Circuit of Jackson County if charged under state law. Check any court notice you receive and contact the clerk if you are unsure. Different courts can have different procedures and schedules. We confirm venue details immediately so you appear at the right place and time.
You typically have 15 days from receiving the Notice of Suspension or Revocation to request an administrative hearing with the Missouri Department of Revenue. If a hearing is granted, you may continue to drive on a temporary permit until 15 days after the decision is mailed. Missing the 15-day window causes the suspension or revocation to begin. This administrative case is separate from the criminal court case. We file the hearing request right away to preserve your driving rights. Bring the notice you were given so we can act before the deadline.
SATOP is commonly required before your Missouri driving privilege can be reinstated after alcohol-related withdrawals. Completing SATOP early can shorten delays when you become eligible to reinstate. The Department of Revenue’s reinstatement chart also shows when SR-22 proof and an ignition interlock may be required. We coordinate your SATOP screening and program placement to match your case timeline. Starting early does not admit guilt but shows readiness to comply. Ask us which level of SATOP is likely for your situation.

The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements.

I would have to know the specific facts and evidence in your particular case in order to give you legal advice. You should not draw conclusions about your case based solely on general sources of legal information. Instead, you should seek legal advice specific to your particular case.
The information on this website may not reflect the most current legal developments, and is not guaranteed to be correct or up-to-date. DWI law changes frequently, sometimes several times per year. While I work hard to stay very current with the law, that knowledge may not be reflected in my website (because…time).
The information on this website should not be taken as a promise or indication of future results.
Use of this website and/or transmission of information to and from this firm from this website and/or by email is not intended to create, and does not create, an attorney-client relationship. No attorney-client relationship is created with the firm absent an express agreement to create such a relationship. If you send me information before we have clearly established an attorney-client relationship, that information would not be subject to the attorney-client privilege and duty of confidentiality. At this time, routine email communications are not encrypted, a fact you should take into account in communicating highly sensitive or confidential matters.
Missouri does not license attorneys based on their legal practice area specializations. Neither the Missouri Supreme Court nor The Missouri Bar reviews or approves certifying organizations or specialist designations. While my practice is devoted exclusively to DWI and criminal defense, and while I have developed substantial knowledge in the area, ethical rules do not permit use of the word "specialist" for criminal defense or DWI attorneys.
