You can’t go wrong with [Bruntrager & Billings P.C.]. Don’t just trust my word for it though. See for yourself or better yet, ask other attorneys who they would personally use. I’m sure you’d hear not just one, but several of [their] names.

I’ve dealt with Charlie and he is wonderful. VERY knowledgeable of the law. I would definitely recommend if you are facing hardship.
You can’t go wrong with any of them. Don’t just trust my word for it though. See for yourself or better yet, ask other attorneys who they would personally use. I’m sure you’d hear not just one, but several of the names above.
“I find the law firm of Bruntrager & Billings, P.C. to be totally professional, compassionate and caring. They do their homework to get results. Their whole staff is there with you all the way. Charles W. Billings was there with us from day one working the case and keeping us informed every step of the way. I have total confidence and trust with him as our attorney and now think of him as a friend. This is a wonderful family law firm and would highly recommend them to anyone.”
April 20th, or 4/20, is a popular “holiday” among marijuana drug users. While many believe the term “420” derives from the police code for marijuana, it actually originates from a group of five Californian students who regularly smoked at 4:20 PM, and what started as a time to meet up and smoke, 420 eventually surpassed this group of five and made its way into the English vernacular.
With 4/20 quickly approaching, the state of Missouri has begun its first ever, “420 drugged-driving enforcement campaign,” meant to quash the number of people driving under the influence on this unofficial “holiday.”
According to Fox 4 – KC, “MoDOT said law enforcement will be out in full force April 19-20 to crack down on drugged driving offenders.”
So, with that being said, what happens if I am pulled over while under the influence of marijuana or other drugs?
When people hear the words “driving under the influence,” they most often think of drunk driving, but driving under the influence of marijuana and other drugs also impairs your ability to drive a car. Testing for the presence of these drugs involves a whole host of procedures you wouldn’t typically think of.
If you ever find yourself in this situation, it is imperative that you remember your rights, including your right to remain silent and your right to an attorney. But it isn’t good enough to remember these rights. You must exercise them.
You need a lawyer that knows and understands the specific laws that require potentially invasive procedures to test for the presence of marijuana and other drugs. We are those lawyers, we know those laws, and we are happy to help.
