Combs Waterkotte’s DWI/DUI defense attorneys have a demonstrated track record of obtaining favorable outcomes for those charged with DWI/DUIs. Here are a few example of what a defense attorney experienced in DWI/DUI cases can do for you:
- DWI 3rd Offense: Combs Waterkotte represented a Wentzville man on his 3rd DWI offense. After negotiating with the prosecutor, we were able to secure a plea deal that reduced the charge to a misdemeanor with no jail time. Our client was placed on probation for a period of 2 years.
- Golf Cart DWI: Combs Waterkotte represented an Oakville man charged with DWI after driving his golf cart on a major thoroughfare. After being pulled over, our client had difficulty maintaining balance and slurred his words. He refused a breathalyzer. After investigating the case and pointing out many inconsistencies in the police officer’s report, the prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge to careless and imprudent driving with a small fine.
- Felony DWI: Combs Waterkotte represented a Franklin County woman charged with felony DWI. After conducting a thorough investigation and taking the arresting officer’s deposition, the state dismissed the case.
- Felony DWI: Combs Waterkotte represented a Robertsville, MO man on a felony charge of DWI. At trial, we challenged the way the officer conducted his standardized field sobriety tests he conducted and were able to point out inconsistencies and errors in the way it was administered. Our client was found NOT GUILTY after a trial.
- DWI: Combs Waterkotte represented a St. Louis County man on a charge of driving while intoxicated in St. Louis County Municipal Court. The prosecutor alleged that our client was swerving, had open containers, had difficulty speaking, and bloodshot eyes. After negotiations with the prosecutor, we were able to get the case reduced to careless and imprudent driving – a 2-point violation – with a fine.
- Multiple DUIs: A St. Louis County man received three DUIs, all in different locations. The tough negotiation skills of the Combs Waterkotte attorney resulted in no felony charges, no conviction on his record, and no points on his driver’s license.
- Aggravated DUI: A St. Charles County man was charged with aggravated DUI and was facing 8 years in the Missouri Department of Corrections. After lengthy negotiations with the prosecutor, Combs Waterkotte was able to get the charge amended to a lower level felony and the client served 60 days shock time in the county jail.
- Felony DWI/DUI: A St. Louis County man was charged with felony DWI/DUI because of multiple arrests in his past. After lengthy plea negotiations, Combs Waterkotte was able to get the charges reduced to a misdemeanor.
- DWI: Combs Waterkotte represented a college student on a DWI charge. During the administrative hearing, which deals with license suspension, we challenged the arresting officer’s failure to properly observe our client for the required 15 minutes prior to our client submitting to the breathalyzer. Accordingly, the Missouri Department of Revenue rescinded our client’s suspension. As a result, our client did not suffer any license loss as a result of her DWI despite a BAC result nearly two times the legal limit. Additionally, due to several officer errors during the field sobriety test, the prosecutor decided to dismiss the criminal case against our client.
