At the Piatchek Law Firm, our criminal defense attorneys use a tough, professional approach to criminal defense.

Criminal Defense – Our Approach
When you have legal troubles involving criminal law, it is very important to find an criminal defense lawyer who is not only experienced, but who also cares about you, understands your fears, and will take time to answer your questions.
Of course, you want a criminal defense lawyer who will get you the best possible outcome, but you also want someone understanding who is easy to confide in and trust. Our criminal defense team has the experience and compassion you desire during your time of need. We will take time to answer all of your questions, explore your options, and discuss possible outcomes. In addition, we would be happy to discuss attorneys’ fees, fines, and court costs.
When you are facing troubles with the law, it is natural to be worried. During this stressful time in your life, we understand that many questions may run through your mind:
- What are my rights?
- What should I do now?
- What should I not do now?
- What will happen if I am found guilty?
- How will this affect my family, my career, or the rest of my life?
Our defense attorneys have the knowledge and experience in criminal law necessary to understand exactly how your case might play out under different courtroom scenarios. We would be happy to discuss your full range of legal options and give you the best legal advice, so that you can make the best choice possible. Plus, we are prepared to go the distance and provide you with a rigorous defense, while also keeping an eye out for settlement opportunities – if a settlement makes sense in your situation.
Criminal Defense with Reasonable Rates
Although we are prepared to take any case all the way to court, we don’t believe in charging our clients for services they don’t need. If it is in your best interest to take a plea bargain, rest assured that you won’t pay the same price you would have paid to go to trial. With free consultations, negotiable payment plans, and a commitment to transparency, you can feel confident that our attorneys will provide you with affordable legal services without sacrificing quality or limiting your options.
Defending Felony Charges
Felony charges are crimes that carry serious penalties in the state of Missouri. Our defense lawyers offer the experience necessary to protect your rights and ensure the best possible outcome in the courtroom. Our clients appreciate the compassion and individual attention they receive with our attorneys. When facing felony criminal charges in Missouri, hiring a criminal defense attorney you can trust and confide in should be your first priority. Although not all cases can be “won,” there is always room for negotiation, and the attorneys at the Piatchek Law Firm have the skills and experience that you want on your side. Everyone deserves to be treated fairly under the law.
Defending Misdemeanor Charges
Our attorneys are well versed in the complex and varying misdemeanor laws of the Missouri courts, and they have the experience necessary to help you achieve the best possible outcome. A misdemeanor charge is less serious than a felony charge, but it still carries significant consequences that can affect your opportunities for employment and your eligibility for certain types of loans and federal aid. It can also risk your immigration status and damage your reputation. This stressful period in your life can be made much easier by hiring an experienced attorney who knows exactly how to handle your situation. Our defense attorneys have years of experience winning misdemeanor cases and know how to ensure the best possible outcome for our clients.
