Defense for Drug Crimes and Violent Offenses

Facing state or federal indictments for narcotics or violent crimes carries the risk of harsh mandatory minimum prison sentences. Twibell Pierson provides fearless representation against complex drug crime defense allegations, including narcotics possession, trafficking, and manufacturing involving controlled substances. The attorneys also defend clients against violent crime allegations such as assault, armed robbery, weapons violations, and homicide. By filing rigorous constitutional motions to suppress unlawfully seized evidence and conducting independent depositions, the firm regularly dismantles prosecutorial evidence before cases reach trial.

Missouri Criminal Record Expungements and Traffic Offenses

A past arrest or conviction does not have to haunt your future permanently. Missouri statutes permit eligible individuals to seal qualifying misdemeanor and felony records.
