DWI
If you've been charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) in Missouri or Kansas, having an experienced attorney by your side is essential.
-
Both Missouri and Kansas have strict DWI laws, but there are important differences:
Missouri DWI Laws
Even a first offense can result in up to six months in jail, fines up to $1,000, and license suspension.
Drivers under 21 face automatic license suspension under the Zero Tolerance Law, even with a very low blood alcohol content (BAC).
Kansas DUI Laws
A first offense carries penalties such as mandatory license suspension, up to six months in jail, and fines up to $1,000.
Kansas also imposes mandatory ignition interlock requirements for many offenders, even first-time cases.
Special Considerations for College Students
For college students, a DWI or DUI can have serious consequences beyond legal penalties. It can lead to disciplinary action from your university, loss of scholarships or financial aid, and long-term impacts on future career opportunities. Missouri and Kansas both enforce strict underage drinking and driving laws, meaning even a very low BAC can result in license suspension and a criminal record for drivers under 21.At Tolle Law, LLC, we understand how a DWI or DUI charge—whether in Missouri or Kansas—can disrupt your life, education, and future opportunities. We provide strong, strategic, and compassionate defense tailored to each state’s unique laws.

Drug Offences
Missouri and Kansas drug laws are complex and carry severe consequences for those convicted. A drug crime conviction in either state can result in years of imprisonment, substantial fines, loss of driving privileges, and a permanent criminal record—making skilled legal representation essential.
-
Missouri vs. Kansas Drug Penalties
Missouri Drug Laws
Missouri classifies most drug offenses as felonies, with penalties ranging from probation for minor possession to years—or even decades—of imprisonment for distribution or trafficking.
Missouri courts may offer certain treatment court or diversion programs, but eligibility is limited and depends on the nature of the charge and prior record.
Kansas Drug Laws
Kansas uses a drug severity level grid to determine sentencing, meaning penalties vary based on the type and amount of drug involved as well as your criminal history.
Even simple possession of certain controlled substances can lead to a felony charge. Kansas also imposes mandatory minimum sentences for some offenses, making early legal intervention critical.
Violent Crimes
Facing violent crime charges is one of the most serious and stressful situations you can encounter. It requires a deep understanding of criminal law, meticulous preparation, and a powerful defense strategy tailored to your case.
-
With over 20 years of experience, Attorney Julie Tolle provides skilled, strategic, and unwavering representation for clients facing serious allegations such as assault, robbery, armed criminal action, or homicide.
A conviction for a violent crime can have life-altering consequences—including lengthy prison sentences, the loss of professional licenses, restricted employment opportunities, a permanent criminal record, and the denial of firearm ownership rights.
When the stakes are this high, you need a trusted and relentless advocate who will fight for your freedom, your future, and your rights at every stage of the legal process. At Tolle Law, LLC, we are committed to delivering the strong, client-focused defense you deserve.

Whether you’re facing allegations of shoplifting or a serious felony burglary charge, Attorney Julie Tolle provides a vigorous defense tailored to your unique circumstances.
-
Every case begins with a thorough investigation of the facts, careful review of the evidence, and identification of the strongest possible defense strategy.

At Tolle Law, LLC, we represent clients in all types of theft-related charges—from petty theft and shoplifting to complex felony theft, burglary, and financial crimes. No matter the severity of the allegation, your rights, reputation, and future remain our top priority.
Sex Crimes
Sex crime allegations are among the most serious and life-altering charges a person can face. Even before a case reaches trial, the stigma alone can devastate your reputation, career, relationships, and future. A conviction can mean decades—or even life—in prison, mandatory sex offender registration, and permanent restrictions on where you can live and work.
-
For those who are wrongfully accused, the consequences can be just as severe. False or exaggerated claims can destroy your good name, separate families, and create lifelong hardships—even if you are eventually cleared. That is why a strategic, aggressive defense is critical from the very beginning.
Attorney Julie Tolle brings a unique and powerful perspective to these cases. Early in her career, she prosecuted sexual assault and internet-related sex crimes, successfully convicting offenders and gaining deep, firsthand knowledge of how these cases are built by the State. Today, she uses that insight to anticipate the prosecution’s tactics and develop strong, effective defenses for her clients.
With extensive experience defending a wide range of sexual offense charges—such as sexual assault, statutory rape, child exploitation, and internet-based allegations—Julie understands the complex legal and forensic issues involved in these cases. She is committed to protecting your rights, your freedom, and your future with a meticulous, compassionate, and vigorous defense strategy.
Gun Crimes
Crimes involving firearms or other weapons often carry severe penalties, including lengthy prison sentences, steep fines, and permanent restrictions on your right to own or possess a firearm. A conviction can also affect your employment opportunities, professional licenses, and ability to protect yourself and your family.
-
While Missouri and Kansas both recognize strong Second Amendment protections, those rights are not unlimited. Gun owners still face strict state and federal laws governing the possession, carrying, and use of firearms. In some cases, lawful gun owners are wrongfully charged due to misunderstandings of the law or overreach by law enforcement.
Attorney Julie Tolle has decades of experience navigating the complex intersection of gun rights and criminal law. She understands how to challenge unconstitutional searches and seizures, improper evidence handling, and violations of your due process rights. Julie is committed to ensuring you are treated fairly under the law and that your constitutional rights as a gun owner are vigorously defended.
At Tolle Law, LLC, we build strong, strategic defenses tailored to your unique circumstances—whether you’re facing charges for unlawful possession, carrying without a permit, use of a firearm in the commission of a crime, or federal weapons offenses. Your rights, freedom, and future will always be our top priority.
