CRIMINAL VERSUS CIVIL SIDE OF DWI CASES

A DWI/DUI in Missouri has two components, a civil case, and a criminal case. On the civil side, we will work to maintain your driving privileges immediately after your arrest and beyond. If you act quickly within the first two weeks following your arrest, we will file an appeal with the Missouri Department of Revenue and work to protect your driver license. In some circumstances, we will seek limited driving privileges so that you can drive in specific situations, like to and from your workplace. If you are facing an immediate 12-month license suspension due to a breathalyzer refusal, it will be critical to file for a restricted driving privilege right away. As an experienced Ste. Genevieve DWI lawyer, Chris Combs will work diligently to protect your driving privileges from day one. Having worked the civil side of hundreds of Ste. Genevieve DWI cases, he can quickly and effectively advise you on how to limit the negative consequences of a DWI on your driver’s license.

On the criminal side of your DWI is the local municipal prosecutors, judges, and courts. In some multiple offense DWI cases, local municipal courts will send the case to the state and county courts. But for first time DWI offenses, your DWI will be filed by the local municipality. And then it will depend on which municipality you are facing your DWI charges. Although the laws are the same across all local municipal courts, the way the laws are enforced can be quite different depending on where you get your DWI. It takes an experienced Ste. Genevieve DWI/DUI attorney to know what those differences are and how to navigate between each of the courts and prosecutors. Chris Combs is that experienced Ste. Genevieve DWI lawyer you need for your case. He will work with you from the beginning to understand the circumstances of the DWI and identify any holes in the prosecution’s case. Then he will build a criminal defense strategy that’s designed to limit the impact of the charges on your life and livelihood. If you want to hire a Ste. Genevieve DWI Defense Attorney who is experienced, reputable, and effective then you should contact us today for a free case evaluation. Our past clients will attest to the positive experience and positive outcomes from Combs Law Group.

Combs Law Group is ready and willing to stand by you and fight for your reputation and your freedom. If you contact our firm today we will set up a discrete one-on-one consultation with you to discuss your situation.

  • This was my first time dealing with a court case (Restraining Order filed against me) and this was definitely the Law Firm to go with. Christopher Combs sat down and discussed with me the details and reassured me that he will do everything he can to get the case dismissed. He worked with Steve Waterkotte, who was very professional and reassuring as well. Obviously the outcome went exactly as they predicted and I couldn't be happier to pick Combs Law Group. Would strongly recommend to friends and family and will for sure be using his services again if ever needed.

  • I cannot stress the importance of this 5-star review. I was an out-of-state client of Chris’ and he went above and beyond for my case. Chris Combs, along his assistant, Steve Waterkotte, were excellent in handling my case with extreme care, timeliness, and precision. The outcome of the case exceeded my expectations.

    Chris Combs and his firm stood beside me 150% and I felt in good hands throughout the whole process. Before consulting with Chris, I chose to call him based on the reviews I read; now I understand why there are nothing but 5-star reviews for his firm and I am glad to be a contributor to that statistic... it is the least I could do for what Chris and his firm did for me.

  • Chris and his team were terrific! I had a few speeding tickets that were well over the speed limit and Chris was able to work his magic to get them reduced to a non-moving, no point violation and without it costing me an absorbent amount of money!

  • I can’t say enough about Chris and his outstanding work he did for me. He asked me to trust him and I did and it was the best choice I could have made. Not only did he do what he was going to do he went above and beyond more than what he had to do to make sure everything was gonna work out. He saved my butt and I wouldn’t go to any other lawyer in St. Louis after seeing what he did for me . Thanks Chris . God bless u and your team

  • We thoroughly researched lawyers for a criminal case and decided on Chris for his professionalism, track record, and fair pricing. Good work isn't cheap and cheap work isn't good, but you get MORE than what you pay for with Chris Combs and his staff. He was available to answer calls and texts with any questions at all times - he was always helpful in explaining everything and stayed on top of the game throughout the entire case. Chris will work hard for you and he puts his clients first always. He does not shy away from a challenge and delivers on everything 110%. We will always recommend Combs Law Group and are very happy with our decision to hire him to represent our case.

I’m very happy with the outcome of my situation, and would highly recommended him to family and friends.
