I've worked with these guys on multiple realestate projects now. They're awesome! What they lack in size compared to some big firms, they make up for in brilliant, outside the box, precision. A special thanks to Erik! I would highly recommend this firm to friends and family.

If you need attorneys who will fight for you....look no further. I had a need to get out of a real estate partnership that went sour and needed to get out of a mortgage situation that was cumbersome (mostly emotional) to me. Through a referral from a friend I called TdD Attorneys at Law and got a same day initial appointment with Ted Disabato. Ted talked with me, not down to me, and suggested to do a Partition lawsuit. He explained, in detail what it meant, to my satisfaction. After hiring the firm, I was contacted by his associate attorney (Pitbull) Louis Teson. What a fine young man this guy is. He mediated an amicable agreement with my (former) ex partner and the rest is history. Thank you Ted, and thank you Louis. From the bottom of my heart!! P.S. Ted...you need to work on making Louis a Partner. 🙂John Whitlock

We have utilized Ted's services and expertise in property law in several capacities now--to sell one home and buy two, and for our estate planning. The process could not have been easier and he explained every step of the way. Ted is incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. You will leave feeling like every contingency has been thought of, and like you can rest easy that your loved ones will be taken care of. Highly recommend Ted.

We worked with Ted on various real estate (I'd highly recommend him over a typical realtor) and LLC-startup matters. Ted is very sharp, extremely assertive, personable, and trustworthy. TdB will be our first call for any future legal needs.

What is Driving Under The Influence?

Driving while intoxicated, also known as DWI, or driving under the influence, also known as DUI, are charges against the driver of a motorized vehicle for impairment due to alcohol or other drugs. The penalties for being charged with a Missouri DUI or DWI can vary greatly based on your Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC), whether you were involved in an accident, and whether you have been charged previously with a drug or alcohol offense.

What Is The Missouri DUI Law?

The 0.08 percent blood alcohol concentration (BAC) standard allows the prosecutor to charge the driver with a statutory or “per se” DWI, which means they don’t have to prove that the driver was impaired, only that the BAC was .08 percent or greater – and the defendant is considered intoxicated by law. As a defense, a St. Louis DUI lawyer can challenge the results or the validity of BAC test. If a driver’s BAC is above .15 percent, that could lead to higher penalties or an aggravated DUI, which comes with stronger penalties. It is strongly encouraged that you hire a St. Louis criminal defense attorney to represent you in court. Failing to do so will likely result in a conviction.

What Happens With Your First DUI Offense?

A first DUI/DWI is generally charged as a Class B misdemeanor in Missouri, that can come with penalties of up to six months in jail and a $500 fine. In addition, if you are convicted, your driver’s license will be suspended for 90 days with the ability to request restricted driving privileges.

Whether your driver’s license will be limited or suspended is actually not part of the court process, but a separate part of the Missouri DUI process that is handled by the Missouri Department of Revenue – which regulates driver’s licenses. A summary of DWI charges can be found on the Missouri Department of Revenue’s website. Many people don’t realize that if you refuse to take the BAC blow test administered by the police, there is an informed consent law in Missouri that automatically suspends your driver’s license for one year. So, it is harder to be prosecuted for a DWI if a BAC is not taken, but it comes with automatically stiffer penalties through the suspension of the driver’s license.

What Happens With Your Second DUI Offense?

A driver will be charged with a Class A misdemeanor if they are charged with a second DWI/DUI within a five-year period. Class A misdemeanors carry a maximum penalty of one year in jail and fines of up to $1,000, as well as probation and alcohol-related classes such as SATOP. Generally, there is a minimum of 48 hours in jail or community service in its place. If charged with a third DWI/DUI, it is a Class D felony in Missouri, which has a maximum jail time of four years and up to a $5,000 fine.
