Dellwood is a small city — about 5,000 residents inside roughly one square mile — but it sits on the Chambers Road corridor between Ferguson and Florissant, and the geography keeps the caseload steady. Most of the call volume from Dellwood is some combination of traffic, injury from the same intersections, and the workers’ comp and expungement work that working families need.

Dellwood work is a fairly even split between traffic and criminal defense from the Chambers Road corridor, personal-injury claims from the same intersections, and the routine estate planning, workers’ comp, and expungement work the residential blocks generate.

- DWI & DUI defense: both the criminal case and the parallel administrative license proceeding — see Missouri DWI lawyer and the 15-day rule.

Why Dellwood
is in our regular rotation.
Dellwood is a small city — about 5,000 residents inside roughly one square mile — but it sits on the Chambers Road corridor between Ferguson and Florissant, and the geography keeps the caseload steady. Most of the call volume from Dellwood is some combination of traffic, injury from the same intersections, and the workers’ comp and expungement work that working families need.
We see the same patterns repeat: a careless-and-imprudent citation that needs to stay off the record because of a CDL or a future employer; a rear-end collision on Chambers Road that involves three vehicles and an open question about which insurance carrier is primary; an expungement petition for an old misdemeanor that is now blocking a job offer. None of these matters are exotic, and that is the point — they are the routine work of a North County practice, and we have been doing them out of the Florissant office for forty-nine years.
Estate planning from Dellwood follows the same template we use across North County: the smallest plan that actually works. For most of our Dellwood clients that means a will, two powers of attorney, and where the home is the largest asset, a beneficiary deed under RSMo §461.025. Trusts make sense for some families but most of the time they are oversold.
Most Dellwood matters are the routine of a North County practice. We handle them the same way we have for forty-nine years — out of the Florissant office, one phone call at a time.
Dellwood legal FAQ —
straight answers.
The questions Dellwood residents and businesses ask most often. General information; specific facts always change the analysis.
What court handles felony cases for Dellwood residents?
Felony charges originating in Dellwood are filed in the St. Louis County Circuit Court at 105 South Central Avenue, Clayton. Initial appearances, preliminary hearings, and bond review are heard there before the case is assigned to a trial division. We appear in St. Louis County regularly.
Where is Dellwood’s municipal court located?
The Dellwood Municipal Court at City Hall handles ordinance violations. Speeding citations, careless-and-imprudent tickets, accident citations, and minor ordinance matters are heard there rather than at the St. Louis County Circuit Court.
How far is your office from Dellwood?
Our office at 580 N. U.S. Highway 67, Suite 4 in Florissant is about 8 minutes south of Florissant via Chambers Road. Many Dellwood clients meet us in person; others handle the entire matter by phone and video, with in-home signings available for estate planning.
Can my Dellwood criminal case be expunged?
Many Missouri misdemeanors and a meaningful list of felonies are now expungeable under RSMo §610.140, with waiting periods that begin after sentence completion. We screen eligibility on the first call.
What is a suspended imposition of sentence in Missouri?
An SIS under RSMo §557.011 means the court accepts a guilty plea but does not enter a conviction if probation is completed. Done properly it preserves the record from showing a conviction for most purposes.
