Kansas City DUI Attorney
Arrested for DUI? Call (913) 648-3360.
When you need a Kansas City DUI attorney, Neighbors Law Office is here to help you. My name is Steve Neighbors and I have aggressively represented clients with their DUI defense for over 30 years. In order to avoid serious DUI penalties for a first time DUI, multiple DUI, underage DUI, DUI with injury, DUI & drugs, felony DUI, or vehicular manslaughter, my firm can assist you through the complex legal process.
DUI charges can be fought with a comprehensive examination of any breath alcohol tests, blood tests, or field sobriety test results which have been gathered against you. I will use my many years of experience to defend you at your DMV hearing as well as against the criminal charges.
A DUI conviction can lead to drivers license suspension, fines and even jail time. I have helped many clients with drivers license restoration, in addition to fighting vigorously to have their charges dismissed or reduced. I am also ready to help you with any traffic ticket violations you may need to address.

Because it is illegal, under Kansas law, to plea bargain a DUI charge, the plea options, in a Kansas DUI matter, are usually limited to the following:
- Take the matter to Trial
- Consider diversion (if the person is eligible for diversion)
- Consider a plea of guilty, or no contest, to the DUI charge (if no better option is available) with negotiated plea minimums and, possible, dismissal of non-DUI charges that may be accompanying the DUI charge
A 4th alternative may be having the DUI charge dismissed IF the defense can show the prosecution that there is insufficient evidence to support a conviction to the charge - however, only an experienced attorney can understand the complexities of a DUI case, and conduct the relevant discovery (reports, lab results, video/audio recordings, and witness statements) needed to show the prosecution the true weaknesses to their prosecution case. I believe that every client deserves to have the best result possible under the circumstances of their case. I educate my clients on the relevant law regarding their factual circumstances so that my client can make the best decision possible regarding the outcome of their case.

My name is Steve Neighbors, and I've successfully practiced law for 30 years. I have purposefully narrowed the scope of my practice to concentrate on DUI defense and in my experience, it is only through aggressive, and thorough, defense work, in opposition to the prosecution of DUI charges, that my client will obtain the best outcome possible. Your freedoms and rights are at stake; and, with a knowledgeable attorney working for you, there are many times when your charges can either be reduced, or dismissed (for insufficient evidence to convict) - which could result in the penalties you face being diminished.

That depends upon the exact DUI offense you have been charged with, the severity of the crime and your prior DUI history. Commonly, DUI offenses are penalized by fines, community service, driver's license suspension, a jail sentence and possible impoundment of your vehicle. In addition, you will have to attend an alcohol awareness program. In some cases, an ignition interlock device will be installed in your car.
For more serious charges such as multiple DUI, felony DUI or vehicular manslaughter the penalties increase substantially.
