Maryland Heights Hit-and-Run Accident Defense Attorneys
The charge of leaving the scene of an accident in the state of Missouri can be a Class D felony. The penalties can include the hard revocation of your driving privileges for one year, with no opportunity whatsoever to obtain a limited license for hardship or necessary travel such as for work or doctor's visits. If you face prosecution for leaving the scene of a crash, you want an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer to protect your interests.
At Law & Schriener, LLC, we concentrate our practice exclusively on criminal defense. Attorneys Law and Schriener both have more than 20 years of criminal law experience. We believe that we can be most effective when we have taken the time to really get to know you and understand your case, as well as your objectives, so that we can tailor our efforts to meet your needs. We also work hard to return all calls and e-mails in a timely manner, often the same day received.
When You Have Been Charged With Leaving the Scene of an Accident in St. Louis
We aggressively protect the rights of people who have been charged with leaving the scene of an accident. We will carefully look for all potential defenses and will take whatever actions we can to prevent the suspension or revocation of your driver's license, as well as the addition of points to your driving record, so that your insurance premiums are not affected.
When you hire us to defend you on a criminal charge, including a traffic offense, we will conduct a thorough investigation of the facts and circumstances of your case. In many instances, the prosecutor may make a recommendation to reduce the charges or propose a plea agreement. We won't stop our investigation just because the prosecutor has offered a deal. We will request police reports, interview witnesses and visit the scene of the arrest to gather all relevant evidence to make the most compelling arguments in your defense.
Leaving the Scene of an Accident can be found under Mo. Rev. Stat. Sec. 577.060
