Firm Information

Overview

An arrest for a DWI can make you feel overwhelmed and ashamed, tempting you to accept a conviction quietly. However, you still have critical rights that must be defended. At The Civella Law Firm in Clayton, Missouri, our attorney brings over 33 years of focused DWI and DUI defense experience to safeguard your future. We guide you through this difficult time with dignity, personal attention and relentless trial advocacy.

We understand the emotional weight a DWI charge carries, which is why our firm treats every client with steady respect and discretion. Managing both the criminal court proceedings and administrative license suspension hearings, we meticulously scrutinize arresting officer procedures, field sobriety testing and breathalyzer calibrations. By uncovering critical procedural flaws, we build a strategic, tailored defense to challenge the prosecution’s evidence, safeguard your driving privileges, and protect your long-term future.

Our defense strategies are built on an invaluable, two-sided legal perspective. Led by Carl J. Civella, we deliver aggressive representation informed by his background as a former DWI prosecutor. This insider experience places us in a uniquely advantageous position to anticipate the prosecution’s tactics, identify critical weaknesses in their case and build robust, proactive defense strategies. We leverage this deep institutional knowledge to vigorously defend your rights.

Our firm offers you a free initial consultation so you can approach us without any obligation. During this session, we will look into the details of your case, make sure you understand what you are facing and present you with effective options to move forward. Our only goal is to ensure you make informed decisions. We also provide flexible virtual appointments, providing you with the option to consult us from anywhere, when required. We also accept credit card payments, aiming to reduce the financial burden of a trial, making sure the process is as stress-free as possible.
