Tight DUI and DWI Defense to Protect Your License

A driving under the influence arrest involves both a criminal charge and an administrative proceeding that can immediately impact your driving privileges. Our dui/dwi defense lawyers are highly skilled at identifying defense strategies designed to preserve your record and your license. Attorney John Kitchin conducts a careful review of the arresting officer's actions, from the initial traffic stop to the administration of field sobriety tests and breathalyzer examinations. If law enforcement officers lacked a lawful basis to stop your vehicle or failed to follow exact testing protocols, we will file motions to suppress the state's evidence and pursue a dismissal or reduction of charges.

Resolving Traffic Violations and Preventing Point Accumulation

Many drivers underestimate the long-term impact of minor traffic infractions. Speeding tickets, reckless driving, and driving on a suspended license can lead to heavy fines, points on your license, and dramatically increased insurance rates. Our traffic ticket lawyers work to resolve these violations efficiently, minimizing the impact on your daily life. Kitchin Law Firm has successfully handled thousands of traffic cases in Kansas and Missouri. We work hard to ensure that your tickets are amended or dismissed, often without requiring you to make a court appearance or visit our office, making the legal process simple and painless.

Protecting Clients Against Drug Crimes and Serious Charges

Charges involving illegal substances or minor offenses carry substantial long-term consequences. Our drug crime defense lawyers represent clients facing possession, distribution, and manufacturing charges. We also handle minor in possession, false identification, domestic violence, assault, theft, and juvenile charges. We know that many accusations are the result of misunderstandings, exaggerated disputes, or violations of constitutional rights during search and seizure procedures. We meticulously investigate the facts of your arrest to discover inconsistencies in the prosecution's story and build a solid defense strategy.
