Aggressive Criminal Defense

We believe that every person is entitled to a vigorous defense. If you have been charged with a crime, the state has to prove each and every element of that crime. Regardless of the amount of evidence, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty! We work with our clients to identify their goals and formulate an effective defense. Our clients are involved in every step of the process. We also know that EVERY CASE IS DIFFERENT AND EVERY CLIENT IS UNIQUE. There is not a “one size fits all” approach to the law. We take the time to not only investigate the facts of your case, but also to get to know you. We will fight as hard as we can to get the best result for you.

We know that a conviction for any of these crimes can change your life.  If you or a loved one are facing investigation, arrest, trial, or jail time in Missouri or Illinois (regardless of whether it is in municipal, state or federal court), you need an aggressive criminal defense strategy developed with the goal of protecting your freedom.  That strategy includes having an experienced criminal defense attorney that is dedicated to defending your rights.

WE WILL ALWAYS BE UPFRONT WITH OUR CLIENTS SO THAT THEY CAN TRULY MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION ABOUT HOW TO PROCEED WITH THEIR CASE

Questions Frequently Asked Our Criminal Defense Team

Night Time Police Violent Crime Intervention. Police Vehicles with Flashing Lights.The most common questions that clients (both new and existing) ask is “Am I going to jail?” If you have been charged with a crime, the prospect of jail time is probably a terrifying thought. In every criminal case, we try to provide an honest assessment of the possible punishments that could result from their charges, whether they are jail, probation, fines, or license suspension.

Another popular question that we hear from clients is how the police found the information that led to their arrest. This question is usually easier to answer after we have thoroughly reviewed the facts and evidence of your case and closely examined the police investigation. When you hire an attorney to represent you in regards to your criminal charges, one of the first things that he/she will do is request Discovery from the Missouri State Prosecuting Attorney. The State is generally required to provide your lawyer with a copy of the evidence as it relates to your charge. Our lawyers understand the importance of obtaining that evidence as quickly as possible so that we can begin constructing a legal defense on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find out if there is a warrant for my arrest?

There are several ways that you can end up with a warrant for your arrest. The most common scenarios involve missed court dates or failure to pay fines. Calling around and waiting in lines will eventually get you the information you need. However, we at The Lampin Law Firm know that tracking information and calling government entities isn’t easy, or fun. Let us do the work and you’ll be able to rest knowing that you have the right information.

How can a former prosecutor help me?

It is the job of a Prosecuting Attorney to bring cases against people accused of crimes. Knowing the law is an important part of their job. Our Criminal Defense Team consists of two former assistant Missouri state prosecutors who have many years of experience working on both sides of the courtroom. They know the common tactics prosecutors use to build cases, and they are able to use that knowledge to the advantage of their clients.

How do you choose a criminal defense lawyer?

Not all criminal defense law firms are created equal.  If you are facing criminal prosecution and are searching for the right lawyer to help you, there are several factors to consider. Choose a law firm with experience, a track record of success in criminal cases, a history of satisfied clients, a law firm with integrity and ethics, and lawyers that truly endeavor to understand their client’s needs and who will work tirelessly to help them achieve their goals.
