DUI/DWI/Traffic

Defending DWI and Traffic Tickets in Olathe

If you have been charged with a DUI in Kansas, DWI in Missouri, or traffic violations, you need a criminal defense lawyer who will defend your rights, your driving record, and your driver's license. A drunk-driving charge must be handled quickly and diligently; in addition to defending you from the charge of driving while intoxicated or driving under the influence, you will have a driver's license suspension issue to deal with.

At the law office of John E. Harvell, a DWI/DUI defense lawyer can help minimize the damage caused by the charges against you and possibly help you maintain your driving privileges. We can defend you in the criminal charge against you and defend your driver's license at the DMV hearing. We also defend people charged with boating while intoxicated and other alcohol related offenses.

When our DWI and DUI lawyer represents you in court, he will present you in the best possible light in order to get the best possible outcome. If it helps your case and gives you the personal support you need, we can recommend personal alcohol or drug counseling. By showing the court that you are taking positive steps in your life, we will improve the likelihood of a more positive outcome in your case.

Seven Things You Need to Know About DUI's

FAQ's Regarding Driving Under the Influence

Felony DUI

A third lifetime DUI arrest can result in you being charged with a felony. Felony conviction can affect employment in the future, as well as limit your rights. You can receive a 10 year driver's license suspension for a felony DUI conviction. Bond supervision could result in house arrest and subject you to random testing. It is important to have a strong defense when facing these serious charges.

Traffic Violations

When traffic violations add up against you, your record suffers and your insurance rates can rise dramatically. Our attorneys can challenge the charges, including those involving speeding tickets, hit and run, failure to report an accident, reckless driving, and fleeing an officer. If your traffic violations involve drugs, we can recommend getting you into a substance abuse traffic offenders program (SATOP).
