Barnhart Bankruptcy and DWI Lawyer for Jefferson County
Reliable Legal Help for Barnhart and Antonia
DWI Defense and License Protection Help
A DWI arrest sets two separate processes in motion: the criminal case in court and the administrative action against your driver's license. Both have deadlines, and missing them can cost you your ability to drive to work. ROC Law helps you request an administrative hearing within the required window, reviews police reports and testing procedures, and represents you in municipal or circuit court. We explain the potential penalties, requirements like the SATOP program, and options for limited driving privileges when available. For clients with prior offenses or other criminal charges, we evaluate the full picture and pursue the most favorable resolution available. Alongside criminal defense, the firm provides Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, divorce and child custody representation, and wills, trusts, and estate planning.

Frequently Asked Legal Questions
Can I file for bankruptcy without my spouse in Missouri?
Yes. Married people can file individually, and it may make sense when most of the debt belongs to one spouse. However, the non-filing spouse's income is usually included in the means test, and jointly owned debts remain the other spouse's responsibility. Filing jointly can be more efficient when both spouses owe significant debt. An attorney can compare both approaches.
How long do I have to challenge a DWI license suspension in Missouri?
In Missouri, you generally have 15 days from the date you receive the notice of suspension or revocation to request an administrative hearing with the Department of Revenue. If you miss that window, the suspension typically takes effect automatically. Because the deadline is short, contact an attorney right after an arrest to protect your driving privileges.
What is a beneficiary deed and how does it avoid probate?
A beneficiary deed lets you name who will receive your real estate when you die while you keep full ownership and control during your lifetime. When properly signed and recorded before death, the property passes directly to the beneficiary without probate. It is a simple, low-cost tool for many Missouri homeowners, including those with rural acreage.
