Attorney Serving the Greater Kansas City Metro Area Lady Justice

Municipal and Misdemeanor Offenses ◊ DUI ◊ Traffic Violations ◊ Careless Driving ◊ Driving on a Suspended or Revoked License

If you have been arrested and charged with a misdemeanor or municipal court offense, from DUI to drug offenses, from domestic violence to careless driving or other traffic violations, you want a lawyer who will provide the same high quality and aggressive representation you would expect when charged with a felony. A conviction can limit your employment options, restrict your ability to drive, result in substantial fines, and possible jail time. Some misdemeanors may even require you to register as a sex offender.

At the office of attorney Anne J. LaBella, in Kansas City, I bring over 15 years of experience to individuals who have been charged with misdemeanors or municipal court offenses. The lawyer's job is one of life-long learning and experience, and it pays to focus. I focus exclusively in representing people charged with misdemeanors and traffic offenses so I can be as effective as possible. I consider myself a counselor as well as an advocate, taking the time to listen carefully to your questions and concerns, to find out what you really want, so I can work with you to protect your future.

My Misdemeanor and Municipal Court Practice

I represent individuals charged with misdemeanors in the following types of criminal defense cases:

  • Misdemeanors and municipal court offenses: I handle all municipal court charges, from assault and battery to drug possession, from prostitution and solicitation to domestic violence, disorderly conduct, trespassing, and indecent exposure.
  • Driving under the influence (DUI): I aggressively represent individuals in administrative hearings regarding license suspension or revocation as well as the criminal proceeding.
  • Traffic violations: I defend people charged with all types of moving violations, including speeding, reckless driving, and failure to obey traffic signals.
  • Driving with a suspended or revoked license: I work aggressively to minimize the consequences of a citation for driving on a suspended or revoked license and guide you through the reinstatement process.
  • Careless driving: I represent individuals who have been charged with careless driving as a result of a motor vehicle accident, working to keep the accident off your record and to avoid a suspension or revocation of your driver's license.
