A DUI in Kansas City costs more than the fine.
People underestimate what a DUI conviction does to the next decade of their life. Here is what we actually see when clients bring us a case.
Your driver’s license
In Missouri and Kansas, whether you blow or not, the clock is ticking. Miss the deadline to act and you could face a suspension of up to a year — with consequences like high-risk insurance and ignition interlock looming as well.
Your insurance and finances
A first-offense DUI conviction raises Kansas City auto insurance premiums by an average of 79% for three years. Add fines, court costs, mandatory ignition interlock, and SR-22 filings, and a single conviction commonly costs $10,000+.
Your job and your record
CDL drivers, healthcare workers, government employees, teachers, and anyone with a professional license can lose more than driving privileges. In both states, a single conviction can enhance your penalties if you are ever stopped again for a DUI.
Three steps. No hand-offs. No junior associates.

Pick up the phone, talk directly to a human, or use the chat bot on this website to contact us. DUI calls get flagged for the attorney so that she can call you right away.
Aimee reviews everything
Police report, breath or blood test results, body cam, dash cam, the stop, the arrest, the chain of custody. She finds the leverage to either take it to trial or get the best plea offer.
She handles court
Aimee handles court appearances until your presence is required — and you will know well ahead of time. Her staff keeps you informed about every date, what to expect, and works around your schedule so there are no surprises.
Every DUI is different. We handle them all.
From first-offense misdemeanors to felony cases involving accidents, refusals, and CDL holders. If your case touches a Kansas City court, we’ve almost certainly handled one like it.
§First-Offense DUI / DWI
The most common case Aimee handles. There are real defenses — a bad stop, a miscalibrated machine, a botched field sobriety test — and how your case is handled from the start can make a significant difference in the outcome.
§Refusal Cases (Implied Consent)
If you refused the breath or blood test, you have 15 days in Missouri to request an administrative hearing or you lose your license automatically. Kansas adds a separate 1-year administrative suspension. Both fights are time-sensitive.
§Felony DUI
Third offense in Missouri. Fourth or more in Kansas. Or any DUI involving an injury accident. These cases carry the possibility of prison time and can mean the loss of your liberty. They demand experienced, serious defense.
§CDL Drivers
A first DUI in any vehicle disqualifies a CDL for one year. A second is lifetime. If you drive for a living — OTR, delivery, construction, transit — your case is not just a license issue. It is your career.
§Underage DUI (Zero Tolerance)
Drivers under 21 in Missouri and Kansas are charged at 0.02% BAC — a quarter of the adult limit. A conviction follows them onto college applications, scholarships, and first jobs. We move quietly and quickly.
§Out-of-State Drivers
Got arrested while passing through Kansas City for a Chiefs game, a wedding, or a layover? Your home-state license can still be suspended through the Driver License Compact. Aimee handles your court appearance — you don’t fly back.
§Drug DUI — Cannabis & Prescription
Missouri legalized recreational cannabis in 2022. Driving under the influence of marijuana or prescription medication is still illegal in both states, and the science behind those prosecutions is far weaker than people assume.
§License Reinstatement & Hardship
Already convicted? We help with hardship licenses, ignition interlock requirements, SR-22 filings, and the petition to fully reinstate when your suspension term ends. You don’t have to navigate the DOR or DMV alone.
