    St. Louis Criminal Defense Attorney

    Looking for a lawyer for a criminal case in St. Louis?

    Are you searching for an aggressive defense attorney to represent you or a loved one against criminal charges in St. Louis? At The Sumner Law Group, LLC, we represent clients against all types of misdemeanor and felony charges on the state and federal levels. Attorney Brent Sumner has years of experience working in the 22nd Circuit Court of St. Louis and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, and is prepared to fight for you!

    Whether you're facing domestic violence charges which could result in losing your parental rights, or if you face losing your license to a DWI/DUI conviction, or if you face mandatory sex offender registration because of a sex crime, you're going to need an aggressive St. Louis criminal defense lawyer such as Brent Sumner who is willing to challenge every shred of evidence against you, to search for any holes in the prosecutor's case and question the reliability of eyewitness testimony.

    When your freedom is at stake, you cannot afford to hire an inexperienced defense attorney or an overwhelmed public defender who simply doesn't have the time or resourced to devote to your case.

    I'm innocent, why would I need an attorney?  
    Unfortunately, innocent people are incarcerated for life terms and even sent to death all because a jury found them guilty. A lot of people are also wrongfully convicted because of circumstantial evidence and false confessions. Wrongful convictions are not unusual and you do not want to make the mistake of believing that innocence will protect you because in many cases, it won't. Hire a lawyer to ensure your constitutional rights are protected and that you won't say or do anything that may harm your case.

    What can happen to me if I'm convicted?  
    A criminal conviction can have a host of consequences depending on your criminal history and the severity of the crime. Some of the penalties may include: driver's license suspension, hefty fines, victim restitution, community service, probation, incarceration and more.

    How long can I be sentenced for a crime?  
    Under the Missouri Revised Statutes, the sentencing for a felony conviction ranges between not more than 4 years for a Class D felony to a term of not less than 10 years to 30 years, or life imprisonment for a Class A felony. For a misdemeanor, the term of imprisonment ranges from 15 days to one year.
