Missouri Murder Defense Attorneys
At the Law Firm of Harper, Evans, Wade & Netemeyer, you will find lawyers who truly know criminal law. Our team includes former public defenders, former prosecutors and former associate judges who have more than 70 years of combined experience. We understand how to build strong defense strategies, taking into account how the other side puts their cases together. We have the passion to get a positive outcome, even in the most challenging cases.
We Conduct Our Own Investigation
Our lawyers are aggressive and thorough. We know that we cannot rely on the police investigation, because police miss things. We need to conduct our own investigation. That means visiting the scene of the alleged crime and re-interviewing witnesses to sift through half-truths that may have been told to the police. We will bring in private investigators to ensure that we have every fact at our disposal. We get those facts and use them to build a strong criminal defense case to protect you.
We Go to Trial
Prosecutors are more likely to take a defense attorney seriously if they know and respect that attorney's ability to go to trial. That is a big part of why we have been so successful in these cases. We are trial attorneys, willing to fight to get positive results.
We Handle All Criminal Defense Cases
Our attorneys defend against all misdemeanor and felony charges in state and federal court. We can defend against the most serious charges and have defended against no less than 30 homicide cases. Crimes we frequently defend against include:
