Having the right attorney on your side can make the difference between keeping your record clean by getting a second chance and having a record of a drug conviction, which can make it difficult to gain employment, rent an apartment, get a professional license, and many more difficulties. The right attorney is not just one who understands Missouri's drug laws and penalties, but also who has the time necessary to devote to your case. Anthony Bretz understands that if you're facing a misdemeanor or felony drug charge, then this is the most important thing in your life at the moment.

Missouri's Public Defender System is grossly overburdened which means your attorney won't have the time to prepare for your case.

Unlike the Public Defenders System, Anthony Bretz is able to give each of his clients and their cases the time required to ensure that they have the best defense possible. There are many possible defenses and motions which can be used in your case to prevent you from having a conviction on your record.

Only hiring a qualified attorney to handle your case will get you the best possible representation. Contact Anthony Bretz now to start protecting your rights.
