How far is your Florissant office from St. Charles?
About 20 minutes via I-270 to I-70 west. Many St. Charles County clients meet us at the Florissant office; for others we'll travel to a coffee shop or office in St. Charles, St. Peters, or O'Fallon for the first consultation.
Is St. Charles County tougher on DWI than St. Louis County?
In our experience, yes — St. Charles County prosecutors typically negotiate less aggressively on first-offense DWI than some St. Louis County municipal prosecutors. That makes the 15-day administrative hearing and pretrial motion practice particularly important. Read our 15-day rule guide.

Five years for most injury claims (RSMo §516.120) and three years for wrongful death (RSMo §537.100). Same as anywhere else in Missouri. Government claim notices can run as short as 90 days, so don't wait.

St. Charles County legal FAQ —
straight answers.
The questions St. Charles County residents and businesses ask most often. General information; specific facts always change the analysis.
What court handles felony cases for St. Charles County residents?
Felony charges originating in St. Charles County are filed in the St. Charles County Circuit Court at 300 North Second Street, St. Charles. Initial appearances, preliminary hearings, and bond review are heard there before the case is assigned to a trial division. We appear in St. Charles County regularly.
Where are ordinance violations heard in St. Charles County?
The municipal courts in St. Peters, O'Fallon, Wentzville, and St. Charles handle ordinance violations. Routine traffic citations, careless-driving tickets, and minor city-code matters are decided at the municipal level rather than at the St. Charles County Circuit Court.
How far is your office from St. Charles County?
Our office at 580 N. U.S. Highway 67, Suite 4 in Florissant is about 30 to 45 minutes northwest of Florissant via I-70. Many St. Charles County clients meet us in person; others handle the entire matter by phone and video, with in-home signings available for estate planning.
What is the statute of limitations for a Missouri car accident?
Five years from the date of the accident for injury to a person (RSMo §516.120). Wrongful death is three years from the date of death (RSMo §537.100). Earlier action almost always produces a better result — evidence and witness memory fade.
Do you accept St. Charles County injury cases on a contingency-fee basis?
Yes. Personal injury and wrongful death cases are handled on contingency — you pay a fee only if we recover money on your behalf. The initial consultation is free.
