Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  Felonies are the most severe category of crime in the Missouri legal system. A conviction for any felony offense can result in extremely severe penalties and a criminal record that follows you for the rest of your life. If you or a loved one is facing charges for any type of felony offense, it is critical that you seek the advice of an experienced Lake of the Ozarks criminal defense lawyer immediately.
• DUI/DWI
  Driving while intoxicated (DWI) offenses are taken very seriously in Missouri. Sometimes referred to as driving under the influence (DUI) or operating under the influence (OUI), a conviction on drunk driving charges can result in extremely serious penalties, including the loss of your driver’s license, fines and jail time in the Lake of the Ozarks and surrounding areas. If you have multiple DWI convictions, you can face even more severe penalties. The increased insurance premiums can cost you thousands of dollars over time, and professional licenses, such as CDLs, may be in jeopardy.
• Wrongful Death
  While the legal implications of your loved one’s death may be the farthest thing from your mind, it is important that you speak to a wrongful death attorney in Camdenton and Lebanon, MO, who can help you understand your rights and see that they are protected.
• Traffic Violations
  Some of the most common causes of boating accident in the area are boating while intoxicated (when another boat operator is driving under the influence of alcohol), excessive speeding, overcrowded boats and driver inexperience.
• Sex Crimes
  Misdemeanors and felonies are not separated by the crime being charged but are more determined by whether or not the defendant may be punished for a certain length of time or in a specific type of prison. A misdemeanor is generally a less serious criminal offense and is punishable for up to one year in jail, whereas a felony is a more serious offense punishable by more than a year in jail. Felonies are usually crimes that are viewed severely by society, such as murder, rape, burglary, kidnapping, or arson.

• Misdemeanors
  As children get older and start to become young adults, they begin thinking about all of the things in which they will soon be able to partake. Drinking an adult beverage can be an enticing activity to minors, especially since they are not legally able to do so until 21 years of age. When a minor finds a way to obtain alcohol, has it in their possession, or is found to be visibly intoxicated, these can all be considered minor in possession (MIP) charges in the state of Missouri, and minors can be criminally charged for these misdemeanors.
• Embezzlement
• Drug Crimes
  Police and prosecutors have aggressively pursued drug-related charges ever since the government declared a “war on drugs” in the 70s, which means that even insignificant drug charges are considered extremely serious and thus punished harshly.

  Monetary damages are based on costs and losses, this may include medical bills, lost income and earning capacity, property damage, and the costs of future treatment. In some cases, such as wrongful death, you may also be able to seek non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of companionship. If the defendant has acted in an especially egregious manner, you may be able to recover punitive damages which are meant to punish the defendant and deter this type of conduct in the future.
