Criminal Defense

Protecting Yourself From Criminal Charges

If you were recently arrested for alleged criminal activity, you are probably terrified about what will happen next. Many misdemeanors and felonies carry steep penalities, and jail time is a realistic threat for many people. Regardless of your crime, an experienced lawyer can help protect your rights and minimize the consequences you are facing.

I am attorney Amy M. Combs, and I defend clients throughout Saint Joseph, Missouri, and the surrounding cities in criminal defense matters. When clients contact me, I take the time to understand the facts of their arrest and their primary concerns. I explain how I can help and offer an overview of their choices and the possible outcomes. I help clients find solutions to resolve problems caused by a misdemeanor or felony arrest, such as:

  • Drunk driving (DUI)
  • Traffic violations, including speeding, insurance matters and driving on a suspended license
  • Drug crimes, including possession, selling and trafficking
  • Domestic violence
  • Assault
  • Sex crimes, including sexual assault
  • Burglary and robbery
  • Gun crimes
  • Probation violations

After a DUI Arrest

The consequences for driving under the influence (DUI), can be costly. In addition to the cost of the ticket, you may also be facing increased insurance rates, class fees and the cost of hiring an attorney. In Missouri, if you are facing DUI charges, there is a time period during which you will not be able to drive at all. After that time, you can apply for a hardship license. Although the situation may feel hopeless, working with an experienced lawyer can help possibly reduce the consequences you are facing.

There is Hope After an Arrest

Criminal charges are not the end of the world, but they can impact your life substantially. Whether you are facing charges for a sex crime, assault or burglary, you need to contact someone who can guide you through the system.

I have been practicing since 2003, and I have experience trying cases in the local courts. Schedule your appointment by contacting me online or by calling 816-396-8354.
