Careless Driving and Car Accidents

Criminal Defense Lawyer in the Kansas City Metro Area

Over 15 Years of Experience Handling Careless & Reckless Driving Charges

If you have been in an accident in Missouri or Kansas, you can end up with a careless or reckless driving charge. In Missouri, you will receive a minimum of 4 points on your driving record and in Kansas, depending on the charge, you may face a serious moving violation. In addition, a conviction can result in increased insurance premiums. Whether you have already been charged or not, you want an experienced attorney to protect your interests, one who has successfully helped others in similar circumstances.

At the law office of attorney Anne J. LaBella, in Kansas City, I bring over 15 years of experience to individuals who have been charged with careless and reckless driving. I consider myself a counselor as well as an advocate, taking the time to listen carefully to your questions and concerns and to find out what you really want, so that I can work with you to protect your future.

My Defense of Careless & Reckless Driving Cases

When you hire me to handle a careless driving charge, my primary goal will be to keep the accident off your record, so that your insurance premiums will not be affected. If you were driving without insurance at the time of the accident, I will make every effort to avoid the suspension of your driver's license for failure to be insured. See my page on driving while your license is suspended or revoked.

I will minimize the amount of time you will need to spend to resolve the careless or reckless driving charge, taking the time to thoroughly prepare your case and know what you need to accomplish your objectives. In many situations, you will not need to go to court, or will need to appear only once.
