Wentzville is one of the fastest‑growing cities in Missouri, with more than 47,000 residents and major highways like I‑70, I‑64, and US‑61 running through the city. With rapid growth, heavy commuter traffic, and a busy commercial corridor along Wentzville Parkway, police maintain a strong presence and regularly make DWI arrests.

The Wentzville police department maintains a high level of traffic‑stop activity and proactive patrols, leading to more DWI investigations. It also places a strong emphasis on traffic enforcement and impaired‑driving detection. More stops and more investigations mean more opportunities for mistakes to be made during a DWI arrest.

A DWI charge here can have serious consequences. Don't just plead guilty.

If you have been arrested and charged with a DWI in Wentzville, you can fight the charge and the license suspension or revocation that comes with it. Mistakes in the traffic stop, field sobriety tests, breath testing, or police procedure can make a major difference in your case.

Why You Need a DWI Attorney in Wentzville

A DWI in Wentzville is a serious matter. Missouri law imposes strict DWI penalties, including:

  • License suspension or revocation

  • Fines and court costs

  • Ignition interlock requirements

  • Possible jail time

  • Community Service

Wentzville Municipal Court and the St. Charles County courts handle a high volume of DWI cases, and prosecutors routinely file charges for first‑offense and second‑offense DWI arrests.

You need a defense strategy that challenges:

  • Whether the traffic stop was legal

  • How the field sobriety tests were administered

  • Whether the breath test or blood test was accurate

  • What the officer actually observed

  • Whether body‑cam or dash‑cam footage contradicts the report

  • Whether the officer followed Missouri’s DWI Investigation procedures

DWI Administrative Hearing Lawyer in Wentzville

Missing key deadlines, like the 15‑day deadline to request an administrative hearing, can cost you your license before your case even begins.

The Director of Revenue will suspend your license for 90 days if you blew or have a blood result over the legal limit after 15 days if you do not request the administrative hearing.

To keep your license, you need a lawyer with experience winning DOR Administrative Hearings. Other lawyers will submit the case "on the record", which means the Director's hearing officer will base his or her decision solely on the police report itself. It is no surprise that the DOR wins nearly 95% of these hearings.

Anthony Bretz takes a different approach because he knows your driver's license is important to you. He attacks the hearing with the same intensity that he does the criminal case. Simply by subpoenaing the officer he can break down the basis of the arrest and highlight the officer's failures to help you keep your license.

Anthony Bretz has a track record of winning Administrative Hearings for his clients.

By challenging the basis of the underlying stop, cross-examining the officer on how he administers and grades the Field Sobriety Tests, attacking the breathalyzer machine maintenance records or the testing procedures for the blood result, I can help you win your Administrative Hearing.
