Metro East DUI/DWI and Criminal Defense Attorneys

Criminal charges, like those for drunk driving, can have a huge affect on your life, your family, and your work. At Byron Gerber Petri & Kalb, LLC, we understand that good people can make mistakes and we are familiar with the stress those mistakes can cause. That's why we use our negotiation and trial skills to aggressively fight criminal charges, and to help you move on with your life.

DUI and DWI Defense Lawyers

The state of Illinois takes DUI seriously. DUI convictions, particularly those for second or third offenses, carry heavy penalties. So, when you have been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a combination of the two, contact Byron Gerber Petri & Kalb, LLC. At our Metro East ◦ St. Louis law offices, we are experienced DWI defense lawyers who collaborate with you to prepare a strong case.

At Byron Gerber Petri & Kalb, LLC, we zealously represent our clients to help keep them from having to plead or being found guilty of any charge relating to DUI. We examine every element of the prosecution's case and take action: we challenge the stop and the breath test; we fight procedural errors; and we often use our extensive trial experience to seek an acquittal.

We also help our clients take administrative action to get and keep their driver's license and provide representation to clients for traffic violations.

Criminal, Misdemeanor, and Traffic Violation Defense Attorneys

Misdemeanors should be taken seriously. In addition to fines and incarceration for up to a year, misdemeanors can cause major disruptions in your life, like limiting your ability to obtain employment. At Byron Gerber Petri & Kalb, LLC, we believe that it is essential for a person charged with a misdemeanor to have zealous legal representation when fighting the accusations against them. We treat criminal matters seriously and will take all the appropriate action to keep you from having a permanent criminal record.

If you have previously been convicted of a crime, we also help clients seek expungement or the sealing of their record.
