Paul W. Burmaster
Your Kansas and Missouri Drunk Driving Defense Attorney
Founded by former prosecutor Paul W. Burmaster, our Overland Park law office brings over 16 years of criminal law experience to DUI / DWI matters in the Kansas City metro area. We help drivers and their families by providing aggressive defense against drunk driving charges in Kansas and Missouri courts. We also represent drivers in administrative license hearings.
There are many possibilities in a DUI / DWI case. Regardless of your situation, do not automatically assume the charge is valid or that it cannot be beat. We have vigorously challenged drunk driving cases on a wide range of legal grounds, including improper field sobriety tests, breath tests, and probable cause issues.
Why should I hire Paul W. Burmaster?
Experience counts. For DUI cases, this is especially true. The long-term costs of a drunk driving conviction are very significant for any driver. Workers who depend on their drivers' license to get to work, families who need a licensed driver to provide transportation, and students all face serious consequences after a DUI / DWI arrest.
