Introduction

Admission to the National College for DUI Defense is by invitation only. Attorney Adam Woody earned that invitation, and he holds certification in the 24-hour DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Program, meaning he has completed the same training program that teaches police officers how to administer field sobriety tests. That credential matters in court: an attorney who understands exactly what proper test administration requires is better positioned to identify and challenge deviations from that standard. The Law Office of Adam Woody is located in Springfield, Missouri, and can be reached at (417) 720-4800. Calls are answered 24 hours a day. Free initial consultations are available. The firm is fully licensed and insured and has earned state and national recognition for courtroom success.

Woody has successfully represented thousands of clients in DUI and DWI cases across Missouri, building a record of results in municipal, state, and federal courts throughout the state.

Practice Areas

DUI and DWI Defense is the anchor of the firm’s practice, and the depth of attorney Woody’s credentials in this area is what sets it apart. A Missouri DUI conviction carries jail time, fines, license suspension, and mandatory DUI classes, with consequences that scale with prior convictions and aggravating circumstances. The defense approach is grounded in Woody’s training: he challenges field sobriety tests by applying the same standards used to train the officers who administered them, and he identifies procedural errors in the stop, the investigation, and the test administration that the prosecution would prefer to leave unexamined.

Drug Crimes defense addresses possession, distribution, and related charges involving controlled substances at the municipal, state, and federal levels in Missouri. Drug convictions carry penalties that can include incarceration, fines, and lasting consequences for employment and civil rights, and the firm’s approach to these cases mirrors its DUI practice: find the procedural weaknesses and build the defense around them.

Assault defense covers the range of assault charges under Missouri law, from misdemeanor assault to aggravated felony charges, with representation at every level of the state’s court system.

Traffic Offenses representation addresses the full spectrum of moving violations and serious traffic charges that carry points, fines, license consequences, and potential incarceration.

Sex Offenses defense covers charges that carry some of the most severe consequences in the criminal justice system, including lengthy incarceration, mandatory sex offender registration, and lifelong restrictions on residence and employment.

Burglary defense addresses residential and commercial burglary charges, including related charges such as trespassing and criminal mischief.

Domestic Violence representation serves clients facing misdemeanor and felony domestic violence charges, protective orders, and related family court proceedings.

Homicide defense covers Missouri’s most serious charges, including murder and manslaughter, in state court proceedings.

Federal Crimes defense extends the firm’s practice into the federal court system, where sentencing guidelines are stricter, investigations are more resource-intensive, and the stakes of conviction are correspondingly higher.

Robbery and Theft defense handles charges arising from alleged property crimes, from misdemeanor theft to armed robbery, throughout Missouri’s courts.

White Collar Prosecutions defense addresses fraud, embezzlement, and related charges that often arise from business or financial relationships and are prosecuted with substantial documentary evidence and expert testimony.
