Testimonials
Arabic assault lawyer reviews in St. Louis
Read what Arab American families in St. Louis say about our Arabic-speaking assault attorneys.
“Got arrested for possession in South City. I'm 23 and on a green card. A drug conviction means automatic deportation. My attorney negotiated an SIS — suspended imposition of sentence — which means no conviction on my record after probation. He spoke Arabic and knew exactly how to protect my immigration status.”
Ali S.
St. Louis, Missouri
2025
“Got pulled over in Kansas City and charged with DWI. I was on a green card and terrified about deportation. My lawyer knew both Missouri DWI law and immigration consequences. He got the charge reduced to a traffic violation with no immigration impact. Missouri calls it DWI not DUI — my lawyer knew every detail of how the state handles these cases.”
Khalid M.

2025
“A customer at my store got aggressive and when I tried to restrain him, he called the police and accused me of assault. My lawyer got the store's security footage and showed I was only protecting myself and my employee. Charges dropped. He spoke Arabic and never doubted me.”

Missouri criminal defense laws
Every state has different criminal laws and penalties. Here's what you need to know about defending charges in Missouri.
DUI / DWI Laws
Missouri uses "DWI" (Driving While Intoxicated) rather than "DUI." The state has a 15-minute observation period for breath tests. Missouri also has a separate "driving while impaired" (DWAI) offense for BAC of 0.02%-0.079% for drivers under 21. A "persistent DWI offender" (2+ priors) faces enhanced penalties. St. Louis City, St. Louis County, and Kansas City have separate municipal courts that may handle first-offense DWI differently.
Drug Laws
Legal for adults 21+ (up to 3 oz). Amendment 3 (approved November 2022) legalized recreational marijuana. Possession over 3 oz without a medical card: misdemeanor, fine up to $500. Public consumption prohibited.
Missouri legalized recreational marijuana in November 2022 through Amendment 3. Medical marijuana has been available since 2018. However, marijuana remains illegal under federal law, and any marijuana-related conviction — even a state-legal activity — can result in deportation, denial of naturalization, or inadmissibility for non-citizens. Drug courts are available throughout Missouri as alternatives to incarceration for substance abuse offenses.
Assault & Self-Defense
Assault in the 4th degree — Class A misdemeanor (up to 1 year jail, $2,000 fine). Can be elevated to Class D felony for special victims.
Assault in the 1st degree — Class B felony (5-15 years) or Class A felony (10-30 years or life) if serious physical injury results
Missouri has a strong castle doctrine law (RSMo 563.031). You have no duty to retreat in your home, vehicle, or any property you own or lease. Outside of these locations, Missouri generally follows a "stand your ground" approach in practice — you can use force if you reasonably believe it is necessary to defend yourself. Deadly force is justified if you reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent death, serious physical injury, or a forcible felony.
Criminal Thresholds & Expungement
Missouri significantly expanded its expungement law in 2018 (RSMo 610.140). Most misdemeanors are eligible after 3 years and most felonies after 7 years from completion of sentence. Certain offenses (Class A felonies, dangerous felonies, sex offenses, domestic assault, DWI) are not eligible. Filing fee is $250. Missouri allows expungement of up to 2 felonies and 4 misdemeanors.
Missouri uses Class A-E felonies (A most serious) and Class A-D misdemeanors. The state has a "prior and persistent offender" enhancement that increases penalties for repeat felony offenders. St. Louis City operates an independent court system separate from St. Louis County — venue can significantly affect outcomes.
