Bi-State DUI & DWI Defense: The Law Offices of Charles R. Green Has Over 30 Years of Aggressive Drunk Driving Defense Across the Kansas City Metro Area

 
 
If you have been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in Kansas or driving while intoxicated (DWI) in Missouri, you are facing a dual threat to your freedom and your driving privileges. Drunk driving laws across the state line are complex, punitive, and strictly enforced. You cannot afford to walk into court without an advocate who knows the local legal landscape.
Attorney Charles R. Green has defended residents of the Kansas City metro area since 1993. Our firm provides sophisticated, forensic-backed defense strategies tailored to the precise rules of both Kansas and Missouri local court systems.

The Critical 14-Day Kansas Driver's License Deadline

Following a Kansas DUI arrest, your pink DC-27 form serves as a temporary license.

Failure to act results in an automatic, immediate license suspension. We manage this entire administrative appeal process to keep you legally on the road while building your court defense.

The Strict 15-Day Missouri Driver's License Window

In Missouri, an arrest triggers an automatic administrative suspension by the Missouri Department of Revenue (MoDOR). You have just 15 days from your arrest date to file for an administrative hearing or 30 days file a Petition for Review in Circuit Court if you refused a breath or blood test. We act immediately to keep you driving legally in Missouri while reviewing the police reports, dashboard camera and bodycam video to build your defense.
 
 

Advanced Science-Based DUI & DWI Defense

We review all available evidence in your DUI case including the probable cause for the stop, the investigation, the probable cause to arrest and transport you for further testing. This can include extensive video and report review and investigating the scene where you were arrested. We dissect the technical and medical evidence the state relies on to build an aggressive, trial-ready case.
  • Forensic Breath Test Audits: We evaluate calibration, maintenance logs, and testing protocol errors for the Intoxilyzer 9000 (preferred in Kansas) and the Alco-Sensor series (preferred in Missouri).
  • Roadside Test Challenging: We systematically break down Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs) by reviewing officer compliance with strict NHTSA federal guidelines.
  • Blood Draw Lab Analysis: We look at whether the Officer followed the correct protocol  in drawing your blood. Was the sample refrigerated? Was a chain of custody established? What lab performed the analysis and what method was used? Were you given the proper Implied Consent Advisory? These are all factors we look at to contest the blood draw evidence from being used against you at trial..

Experienced Representation in the Toughest Cases

When you are charged with DUI, you will have to face two separate hearings. The first, your Driver's License Hearing, must be scheduled within 10 business days of receiving your charges in Kansas, or 15 calendar days of receiving a charge in Missouri. This hearing is crucial to your case, as it is your first chance to keep (or lose) your driver's license. A seasoned lawyer can represent you at this hearing and help you maintain the right to drive.

Your second hearing concerns the criminal charges filed against you in Municipal or State Court. Even if you lost your hearing or did not previously retain the services of a legal professional, it is in your best interest to seek out experienced representation for this hearing. A skilled DUI defense lawyer can help you help you see your charges dismissed or reduced by combatting the evidence presented against you.

Green immediately after your arrest in order to have the best chance at avoiding the penalties associated with a conviction.
