MAPLEWOOD DWI ATTORNEY

If you have a pending City of Maplewood DWI, DUI, weed charge, or other criminal offense, you need an experienced lawyer like James P. Feely, Jr., to fight for you in court.

​

The City of Maplewood is located within St. Louis County.  The municipal court is located at 7601 Manchester Road, Maplewood, Missouri  63143.

​

If you have received a DWI or DUI in Maplewood, Mr. Feely can help you.  Such charges are very stressful to deal with, and can wreak havoc on your driving privileges.

​

Every year the punishments that pertain to intoxicated driving cases become more and more severe.

​

Some people believe that a first time DWI charge is not very important, but that is a false belief.  Even unlike other criminal offenses, a DWI will affect your driving privileges as well as subject you to jail time and large fines.

​

If a member of law enforcement requests that you submit to a breath or blood test and you refuse, you will fact a one year revocation of your driving privileges.

​

The good news is that even if you receive a one year revocation for refusing a breath or blood test, you might be eligible for a limited driving privilege (LDP).

​

However, you will be required to have an ignition interlock device installed if granted an LDP under these circumstances. 

​

An ignition interlock device requires the driver to blow into a device before the car will start, and during intervals while driving, so that the device can determine if the driver has any alcohol in their system.

​

If the device detects any alcohol on the breath of the driver, it will designate a "fail" and will not start. 

​

The device keeps track of "fails", and the data is downloaded from the device at regular intervals by taking the vehicle to the place where the device was installed.

​

The cost to have the device installed, and to maintain it, are the responsibility of the driver.

​

If you have any questions about DWI matters, or other types of offenses, Mr. Feely is happy to speak with you.

​

Mr. Feely handles other municipalities as well, such as Frontenac, Webster Groves, and others.
