WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I AM ARRESTED?
Anyone charged with a crime should not talk to the police without a criminal defense lawyer present or without contacting an attorney first. An attorney can make sure your rights are fully protected and that you do not say anything that can be misinterpreted.
Having criminal charges against you is a frightening experience. Here at Eng and Woods, we empathize with you and have the knowledge and experience to represent you on any type of criminal case. Our attorneys are well known and well respected in courts throughout Missouri. No matter what you are charged with, we will vigorously defend you.
We represent clients on every type of criminal case including:
- Felonies
- Driving While Intoxicated
- All Alcohol Related Offenses (Minor in Possession, False ID, Open Container)
- Misdemeanors
- All Traffic Offenses
- Federal, State, & Municipal Cases
- Murder
- Manslaughter
- Assault
- Burglary, Robbery, Stealing
- Internet Crimes
- Sexual Misconduct
- White Collar Crime
- All drug Offenses
Our ultimate goal in every criminal matter is to persuade the prosecutor not to file charges. Unfortunately, charges do usually get filed. The next option is to get the case dismissed altogether. If we cannot get the case dismissed, we sometimes may resolve your case through a plea agreement if you agree that it is in your best interest.
You Will Make the Deicison as to Whether to Plead or Go to Trial! We will aggressively represent you at trial and welcome the opportunity. Our firm has been defending clients for over fifty years and we have gained many acquittals at trial.
If you have been arrested, we urge you to come in to meet with one of our attorneys for a
Free Initial Thirty Minute Consultation. We will even meet with you on Saturday if needed. Our friendly and experienced attorneys look forward to doing our very best to help you.
We believe that criminal defendants should have a wealth of resources at their disposal in court. Many criminal cases we handle are assigned to two attorneys and clients work directly with their lawyers throughout the process. Cases are staffed efficiently and excellently to ensure no issue is overlooked.
