A criminal charge is serious—but it’s not the same as a conviction.

I talk to people every week who assume the worst right away. The reality is, there’s a big difference between being charged and being found guilty—and what you do early on can make a real impact on the outcome.

If you’ve been arrested or charged in the St. Louis area, don’t wait to get clear answers. I focus on practical, trial-ready defense so you know your options and what comes next.

Have questions about your situation? Reach out and let’s talk through it.

Self-defense is a right—but it does not automatically protect you from being arrested or charged.

In Missouri, the details matter: what led up to the situation, whether force was reasonable, and how law enforcement interprets it in the moment.

If you are in a situation where you had to defend yourself, it is important to understand that your case may still need a strong legal defense.

I work with clients across St. Louis and St. Louis County to break down what actually happened and build a clear, trial-ready strategy.

If you are dealing with charges after a self-defense situation, call me at (314) 852-5995 to talk through your options.

Legal terms can make a criminal case feel more confusing than it needs to be. I’ve found that when people understand what’s actually being said in court, they’re in a much stronger position to make smart decisions about their case.

Swipe through for a plain-English breakdown of common terms you’ll hear in a criminal case—so you know what’s happening and what comes next.

If you or someone close to you is dealing with a charge in St. Louis or St. Louis County, I’m here to give you clear answers and a practical path forward. Reach out anytime.

September is Fall Prevention Awareness Month—a good reminder that many slip and fall injuries are preventable with a little extra attention this time of year.

As conditions start to change around St. Louis, things like wet leaves, uneven sidewalks, and shorter daylight hours can quickly turn into hazards.

A few simple reminders:
- Watch for slick surfaces outdoors
- Keep walkways clear and well-lit
- Wear shoes with good traction
- Take your time on stairs and uneven ground

If you or a loved one is hurt because a property wasn’t properly maintained, you may have a claim. I handle slip and fall cases across St. Louis and can help you understand your options.

Have questions about what counts as unsafe conditions? Feel free to reach out.

Most people have heard of arrests and bail—but what about an arraignment?

It’s one of the first court appearances after you’ve been charged, and it sets the tone for what comes next.

At an arraignment, you can expect:
• The charges to be read formally
• A chance to enter a plea
• The court to address bond or release conditions

It’s usually quick—but it matters more than people think.

If you or someone you care about is facing charges in the St. Louis area, I’m here to help you understand your options and what comes next. Call (314) 852-5995 to connect.

Labor Day weekend is one of the busiest travel times of the year around St. Louis, and unfortunately, it often comes with an increase in DWI stops and impaired-driving accidents.

If your plans include celebrating, make a plan to get home safely before you head out. Use a rideshare, choose a designated driver, or stay overnight. A little planning can prevent serious consequences on the road and in court.

If you or someone you know runs into trouble over the holiday weekend, my office handles DWI and criminal defense cases throughout St. Louis County and surrounding areas. You can reach me at (314) 852-5995.

My office will be closed on Labor Day and will reopen Tuesday morning. I’ll be back and ready to help then.

Have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend.

Attorney-client privilege sounds complicated, but it comes down to one key idea: what you tell your lawyer in confidence is protected. That protection allows you to be honest so I can give you the best possible defense.

That said, it does not apply to everything. When it applies, how it can be waived, and what exceptions exist can make a real difference in a criminal case or personal injury matter.

If you are dealing with charges, an investigation, or even just have questions, understanding your rights early matters.

I keep things straightforward and make sure you know exactly where you stand and what comes next.

There’s a lot of confusion around what happens to passengers during a DUI stop—and the truth is, your rights and responsibilities aren’t always as straightforward as people think.

Just because you’re a passenger doesn’t mean you’re automatically in the clear. In some situations, passengers can still face charges depending on what’s found or how they respond during the stop.

Knowing where you stand can make a big difference in how things play out. 👉 Swipe to learn more about what passengers should (and shouldn’t) do during a DUI stop.

If you or someone you know is dealing with a DUI in the St. Louis area, I’m here to give you straight answers and a clear path forward. Reach out anytime to talk through your options.

A traffic ticket in Missouri is about more than paying a fine. It can raise questions about insurance, points, driving privileges, and how the case shows up on your record.

I always tell St. Louis‑area drivers to ask questions before simply paying the ticket. A quick conversation can help you understand your options and avoid surprises. Stephen’s practical, local guidance is here when you need it.
