Kansas City DUI
Driving Under the Influence

The Kansas City DUI lawyers at Erker, Norton & Hare L.L.C. are dedicated to the aggressive defense of DUI cases in the municipal, state and federal courts of Kansas and Missouri. Our attorneys have an immense depth of experience in fighting drunk driving charges. Such a charge may be designated in Kansas as a DUI (driving under the influence), DWI (driving while impaired), or an OUI (operating under the influence). In Missouri the designation is DWI. They are all essentially the same charge and the penalties for a Kansas or Missouri DUI conviction are harsh.

Free Evaluation Concerning Your Kansas DUI or Missouri DWI Defense

Our firm has put together brief overviews of both the Kansas DUI and Missouri DWI law that we ask our clients to review. The "Brief Guide to Kansas DUI Law" and the "Brief Guide to Missouri DWI Law" contain information about the nature of the offense of DUI and the ramification that such a charge or conviction can have on an individual's life, driving privileges, criminal record and freedom.

If you have been charged with a DUI in Kansas you only have 10 days in which to make a request to the Kansas Department of Revenue for a hearing to determine whether your driver's license should be suspended. If you do not make the request within 10 days your license to drive in Kansas is suspended automatically. You must act fast if you have been cited for failing or refusing a test of your breath blood or urine.

If you would like one of our attorneys to contact you regarding a Kansas DUI charge, or if you have another legal question, you can submit a form and a Kansas DUI lawyer will contact you immediately, usually within one business day. There is little time to waste. If you have been charged with a DUI in Kansas you need information and legal help right away. A successful DUI defense requires a skilled, experienced and aggressive team of lawyers on your side. Please call Erker, Norton & HareLLC, or submit one our questionnaires so we can get you the answers you need now.

Our law firm has put together two books for our DUI clients and have reproduced them here online. This one is for our Kansas DUI clients, and this one is for our Missouri DUI clients. Although they were written by one of our attorneys, credit must be given to the many brilliant lawyers that we have had the pleasure of discussing this subject with over the years, and especially the attorneys at the National College for DUI Defense. It is from those people that we have developed many of our ideas concerning Kansas City DUI defense. It must be stressed that none of the information contained in these documents should be construed as legal advice, nor does it create any attorney-client relationship between Erker, Norton & Hare L.L.C. and the reader. We are providing it here purely for informational purposes regarding Kansas City DUI. This information is copyrighted by Erker, Norton & Hare L.L.C., and all rights therein are reserved. Do not download, copy, distribute or otherwise reproduce this information except in the form that it is presented here and with proper credit given to Erker, Norton & Hare L.L.C.

Further, this information in no way represents the totality of the law and issues related to Driving Under the Influence in Kansas or Missouri. It is but a brief overview. It is certainly no substitute for the advice of an attorney, and no person should undertake the awesome challenge of a Kansas City DUI case without competent counsel. Also, the law is constantly evolving and changing. This information is accurate as of September 2003. Please check with an attorney.
