Traffic & Municipal Violations
If you received a speeding ticket or any other traffic violation it could lead to points on your license and significant fines.
If you accumulate eight or more points in an 18-month period, your driver’s license will be suspended for 30 days. If this is your second suspension, you’ll lose your driving privileges for 60 days, and 90 days on any subsequent suspensions.
If you accumulate 12 or more points in 12 months, 18 or more points in 24 months, or 24 or more points in 36 months, your driver’s license will be suspended for one year.

In most cases, by hiring an attorney, you won’t even need to show up in court. If you have a suspended or revoked license, we work with you to help you have your license reinstated. Our goal is to make the process easy for you so it does not have an impact on your life. At The McKay Law Firm, we aggressively fight your traffic ticket to get those points and fines reduced so your auto insurance does not increase.
DWI Defense
Facing DWI charges alone can be stressful and you may not receive a fair outcome for your case. When you hire The McKay Law Firm, you can ensure that we will fight to protect your rights. Regardless of whether this is your first or fifth DWI, we can help you.
Know Your Limits
In Missouri, your license can be suspended and you can be charged with DWI if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.08 or higher (0.02 for minors) at the time you were driving. It is imperative to know, however, that if you were pulled over on suspicion of DWI and blew over the legal limit, you may be able to fight those charges.
Misdemeanor DWIs
A misdemeanor DWI can greatly affect your future. Even if it is your first DWI charge, a misdemeanor DWI can cause you to lose your license, therefore tarnishing your driving record forever, as well as causing higher insurance rates.
Felony DWIs
If you have been previously charged with two or more DWIs anywhere in the country, you may be facing felony DWI charges. If you are charged with a felony DWI, you are facing potential and substantial jail time, fines, and various other penalties. These felony DWI charges can be fought with the proper DWI defense.
DWI Assault
If you harm another person while driving drunk, you can be charged with DWI assault. Those accused of DWI assault face incredibly harsh penalties, including up to 15 years in jail. If you want to fight your DWI assault charges and protect your future, you must first know your rights. Contact The McKay Law Firm to help you through the process, stand by your side, and achieve the best possible outcome in your case.
Not only can our attorney help you in court, but we can also help you maintain your driving privileges. What to do after the first 15 days of your arrest is crucial to your driving privileges.
