A DWI From Decades Ago Can Result In A Felony DWI Today
A third or subsequent DWI is more than likely going to result in a felony DWI charge. Now, there is no time limit to how long a DWI conviction will count toward new charges. Previously, after a certain time period, a DWI conviction would not be counted toward a new charge. A charge from 30 years ago can now affect your record.
In addition to the "no limit look back" rule, additional rules have been implemented regarding Breathalyzer tests. If an individual refuses a breath test, he or she can be forcibly ordered (without a warrant or judge's order) to be taken to the hospital for a blood test. This is a recent change that can have a drastic effect on your situation if you are pulled over for suspicion of DWI.

Missouri’s Most Trusted Criminal
Defense Attorneys
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 and legal experts to ensure that we have every fact at our disposal. Once we have gathered all the facts, we use them to build a strong criminal defense case to protect you.
