Personal Injury

"You're not a case number. You're someone whose life just changed."

A serious injury rearranges everything — work, sleep, finances, family. Our job is to take the legal weight off your shoulders so you can focus on healing, and to make sure the at-fault party pays the full measure of what they took from you.

We handle injury claims on contingency. You pay nothing up front and nothing at all unless we recover for you.

  • Auto & truck collisions
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Premises liability / slip & fall
  • Wrongful death
  • Dog bites
  • Product liability
  • + medical malpractice, nursing home neglect, pedestrian & bicycle accidents, and other injury matters

Criminal Defense

"Built on a former prosecutor’s playbook."

Charges of any kind put your liberty, your record, and your reputation at stake. Years as a St. Louis County prosecutor and a municipal judge taught David Naumann exactly how the State builds these cases.

Every defense begins with discovery and an honest assessment. Sometimes the right answer is a hard-fought trial; sometimes a negotiated reduction or diversion that protects your record.

  • Felony & misdemeanor defense
  • Drug offenses
  • Assault & domestic violence
  • Theft & property crimes
  • Weapons charges
  • Probation violations
  • + DWI, traffic crimes, white-collar, juvenile, federal matters & other charges

DWI & DUI Defense

"Two cases in one — the criminal charge and your license."

A Missouri DWI triggers two separate proceedings: a criminal case in court and an administrative case with the Department of Revenue. Miss the fifteen-day window to request an administrative hearing and your license is gone whether you win the criminal case or not.

We move immediately on both fronts.

  • First-time DWI
  • Repeat & aggravated DWI
  • Refusal cases
  • Underage DUI
  • CDL DWI defense
  • Administrative hearings
  • + ignition interlock, breath test refusal, blood draw challenges & related matters

Traffic Violations

"Most clients never see the inside of a courtroom."

A speeding ticket isn't just a fine — it's points on your license, an insurance hike that can last years, and in some cases a suspension. We handle traffic matters efficiently and, in the vast majority of cases, without our client ever needing to appear.

  • Speeding & careless driving
  • Driving while suspended
  • No insurance / no license
  • CDL violations
  • Out-of-state drivers
  • Accident citations
  • + red light cameras, accident citations, hit-and-run, equipment violations & more

Workers’ Compensation

"Get every benefit Missouri law owes you."

If you've been hurt on the job, Missouri's workers’ compensation system is the path to medical care, wage replacement, and a permanent disability award. It is also tilted toward the smallest possible payout. You need someone in your corner who knows the rules.

  • Initial claim filing
  • Authorized medical treatment
  • Temporary disability benefits
  • Permanent partial & total disability
  • Second Injury Fund claims
  • Settlement negotiation
  • + occupational disease, repetitive trauma, retaliation claims, third-party suits & more

Expungements

"A clean record is a second chance you've already earned."

Missouri's expungement statute (RSMo 610.140) covers a much broader range of offenses than most people realize — and clearing eligible matters from your record can transform your eligibility for jobs, housing, professional licenses, and firearm rights.

  • Misdemeanor expungements
  • Eligible felony expungements
  • Arrest-only records
  • DWI expungements (first offense)
  • Marijuana possession
  • Multi-count petitions
  • + pardons, sex offender registry petitions, juvenile records, federal expungement guidance

License Restoration

"Get back behind the wheel — legally."

Losing your license can mean losing your job. Missouri offers several routes back: hardship petitions, limited driving privileges, and full reinstatement. Each has its own paperwork, its own SR-22 requirements, and its own court schedule.

  • Hardship driving petitions
  • Limited driving privileges
  • Ten-year denial reinstatement
  • Five-year denial reinstatement
  • Out-of-state suspensions
  • SR-22 guidance
  • + commercial driver hardships, ignition interlock removal, point reductions & more

Estate Planning

"Protect what you've built. Spare your family the chaos."

Estate planning isn't about money — it is about giving the people you love a road map for one of the hardest weeks of their lives. A complete plan keeps your family out of probate court, names a decision-maker for medical and financial matters, and makes sure assets pass exactly the way you intend.

  • Last Will & Testament
  • Revocable Living Trusts
  • Durable Power of Attorney
  • Healthcare directives
  • Beneficiary deeds
  • Probate administration
  • + special needs trusts, business succession, asset protection, contested estates & more
